  1. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/vpn-smart-tv/
  2. BBC iPlayer working perfectly using SmartDNS Proxy VPN (London 'Smart' server selected).
  3. Never had my blood pressure checked in U.K. when going to the dentist, however they did ask if there had been any changes to my health since last visit? Since living in Thailand dental nurse has taken BP and pulse at each visit. Dentist also asks if everything was OK at my last annual medical? I answer 'yes' although I haven't ever had one.
  4. Can confirm. Our local blood donation sessions previously used the 'whole arm' blood pressure machines. Every three months I was rejected. I purchased a basic Omron blood pressure monitor and found my BP was always normal. I went to the next blood donor session to find that they no longer use the whole arm machines and use small monitors similar to the one I'd bought. I now pass every time.
  5. Anyone had a red light at exit autogate? Would you have to be on overstay or possibly flagged for something else?
  6. That's no joke. I sympathise. Unless you have another reason to go there it's uneconomical to burn your petrol. However, public transport (especially railway) is cheap. Is it feasible for you to travel by rail etc. from where you live?
  7. Agree. Totally 'portable' as it's cloud based. Enough functionality for the basic/average user IMHO.
  8. That's assuming if it was a private hospital they would comply with UCEP (Universal Coverage for Emergency Patient), which came into force on 01st April 2017 and requires all hospitals, state or private, to treat emergency patients for free for the first 72 hours.
  9. This morning, for the first time there was a patch of blood in my bed that had soaked through to the mattress. Mrs cleaned it up and suggested I see a doctor. However, I don't think that's necessary. Suspect it's only my piles that have started to leak.
  10. Fair price for the quality. I paid about the same for Linea Roma with single vision distance lenses in Paraguay about 15 years ago. I also purchased a pair of Wrangler reading glasses from the same shop but can't remember the cost of those.
  11. Thanks for this. It's all interesting! I can only state my own experience with a Vyke UK mobile number over the last three years. Calls and SMS including one time passcodes (OTP's) seem to have been received without any problem. I generally don't use a VPN on my two mobile phones. When I do it's either free Browsec or SmartDNSProxy (includes VPN). Prior to SmartDNSProxy I used SurfShark. Sometimes I look and notice that I've left a VPN unintentionally running. I know that USA financial institutions are very wary of sending OTP's via VOIP services so wouldn't recommend Vyke for US use. UK doesn't seem to be worried (as yet). What Australia does I'll admit I don't know.
  12. Some Australian members have previously been searching for cheap mobile phone numbers. Pleased to report that Vyke now offer Australian mobile numbers for $97 AUS Dollars per annum. In addition, Canadian, United Kingdom, Mexican, Polish and USA. Free to receive calls and SMS. Outgoing mobile, landline calls and SMS of course depend upon where you're calling/sending to. Australian rates are (in USD); Mobile; 6.0c/minute, Landline; 3.0c/minute, SMS; 7.0c/each.
  13. Good news! We received the final pathology report from Bangkok Hospital on Friday; ‘Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, low to intermediate nuclear grade’. Although I suggested Srinagarind, yesterday we ended up at the tumour clinic in Khon Kaen Regional Hospital. The lady cancer doctor said the prognosis was excellent. ‘It’s a stage one cancer and 100% curable’. Mrs goes in on Monday 4th November for 4 or 5 days. She was concerned about having a mastectomy as her friend had. The doctor said ‘don’t worry, no surgery involved. Mrs asked if she’d be able to go on an already booked and paid for holiday flying out on 16th November? ‘Absolutely, there’s no postoperative risk’. Thanks Sheryl, you were absolutely correct about consulting a different doctor. It turned out to be less serious than we were originally told at Bangkok Hospital.
  14. Correct. US financial institutions are wary of sending OTP's via VOIP services. Also, Skype itself does not (or doesn't any longer) support 2FA; 'You can receive SMS messages on your US Skype Number from US and Canadian mobile numbers. However, SMS messages sent from services such as identity verification are not supported on US Skype Numbers'.
  15. You need to tell the Thai immigration office that they have things wrong. There has been a relatively recent report by an Asean Now member being told this.
