Terrific, I thought! Tapped the 'Get Online' button, entered my phone number into the subsequent dialog saying EE would send me a text message with an authentication code.

Equally terrific! Except, I was inside a huge store where the cellular signal was just about non existent. So no SMS message could arrive…

Slight #Fail, EE and Asda :)

Running some tests and checks with the latest version of the Dell Support Center program. A pretty good version, nice interface. Just tried the visual Drive Space Manager module: gee whiz, it certainly highlights crap on your drives you'd forgotten about for ages or didn't know was there :)

Good reason for a clean install!
