    This was 113 release notes, however vodafone have confirmed that 118 is being tested atm, so although all these listed fixes are still valid, there should "hopefully" be more improvement added

    Fingers crossed

    Re: Storm chasers

    These are very beneficial guidelines for us. But one annoying thing during storm are scammers! Hurricane season is here again, as if the pummeling the Gulf Coast just took from blowhard Isaac was not enough proof. And in the aftermath of hurricanes, as with most natural disasters, come the storm chaser: a particularly low form of fraudster who is desperate to make a quick killing at the cost of the victims.
