Thanks. Another silly question but will I still get text massages through if my data is off? I think I did on my old o2 payg phone but didn't last year on my contract phone but think that may have been because it was blocked for use abroad and think I've sorted that now.

yes as long as your phone is activated for use abroad, you'll get text messages (they are not reliant on using data).

Just repeating someone else's question from earlier, if you use PayPal are there charges etc ?

I've never used Uber before but will be using it next week for when we travel from Disney to Universal. I have to say I am a little bit anxious. I noticed in the paper today it mentions that you can now tip the drivers - how much would you recommend tipping?

I used Uber for the first time last week and the amount I tipped depending on the length of the journey and therefore cost. When your ride is complete, and you get a notification to rate your driver, the tip option followed it. It actually suggested 3 amounts, e.g. for one of my Uber's it suggested either $2, $3 or $5. You also get the option to pick a different amount. Think I tipped $2 for one of them and $3 for another. For the uber that took us took the airport, I tipped $5. Another uber I took, there wasn't an option to tip as the driver hadn't got his tips switched on for some reason.
