Instead you could opt for a more considerate wake-up call. Scientists in Finland have devised an alarm for your mobile that when rested on your pillow monitors the sound of your breathing and wakes you up when you are in your lightest sleep (within 20 minutes of your latest alarm setting).

| PAC codes made easy | 11th August 2009 |
| When you transfer between networks you will need to obtain a PAC code from your current network in order to transfer your current number over. Currently networks make this fairly difficult in order to keep their business wherever possible. They use retention teams offering special deals to keep customers on their network. Even when you get your PAC code it takes two days to transfer the number. OFCOM have now stepped in to try and reduce this time to 2 hours and also to put pressure on the networks to make obtaining a PAC code easier. It may even be possible in the future to transfer without getting a PAC code yourself, the code being obtained instead by your new network.
