Seems a bit mad that they're encouraging people to enter such details when the general approach these days is to discourage such behaviour in case of scams. Maybe the card number alone and without the CVV/expiry date isn't a problem but any move that encourages people to enter such details...

Or just use the spare bit from an old "trio" (mini/micro/nano) SIM and stick the nano SIM into the micro SIM "enclosure". Or ask your mobile provider for a replacement SIM so that you can use the micro version.

Even if your router is powered off your 12V battery (I presume that it can deliver the required amps? How long can it power the router for?) might not the local broadband infrastructure be impacted by a local power outage meaning that you're still offline? Seems simpler to use something like...

I'm not sure that your bank is that interested in how many Jaffa cakes or toilet rolls you're buying.

Many telecoms/broadband providers have the same policy so I presume that it's allowed.

What sort of "pension provider" is this? Why these specific recommendations? What are the pros/cons risks/rewards? Why not something more diversified and low cost like an index tracker? Not bad but it's no guide to future returns. That's not great in my opinion. My (mainly index tracking)...

Wouldn't a more accurate headline be "Gardaí/1,000 people ALLEGE €25M in losses to fraudsters over the past 4 years"?
