Haha I ended up using Bing in anger a few occasions as I just got sick of clicking on all of the crosswalks, bridges and bicycles and it just glitching out and asking me to complete yet another round.

It's definitely something with the way they have set up their network, I have seen this on my phone itself, on my laptop using the phone wifi hotspot, on my friend's iphone (who is on 3).

I think its time Three fixed this issue, even i have it, I use a VPN to my home network to avoid all of those annoying verification messages.
I just get an annoying message from my NAS telling me to re multi authenticate as there is an IP change which its set up to close previous sessions that are not active after 30 mins.

But surely you use the 3internet APN? It shouldn't be changing your IP address willy-nilly unless you're switching cells.

Or are you saying you're on Smarty? If so, I'd say that service isn't suitable for your use case, because it doesn't support 3internet.

Even if the thread is TLDR for you, you might get a clue from the title of the thread.

I'm on smarty, I do have plans on changing at some point but haven't quite got to it yet as none of the providers round here are very good. Three is upgrading my mast site at the min so that doesn't help as i do keep getting kicked around different cell sites.

I am waiting for the upgrade to be done as my whole area is getting 5G so want to see how useable it is as no provider in my area has decent speeds, they are all slow as each other.

I did want to point out again that the Smarty sim is used purely as a sim, although gets a lot of usage, e.g. in the car on apple car play for music, waze, etc.

There is always the occasional backup for when Virgin Media goes down, although its been getting more stable recently so have had a really good uptime this month with only 20 mins downtime.

Ahem. Before breaking out the snark cannon, you might check whether I was replying to OP or not.
