    If it's been blocked by your LEA or whatever then you will not be able to access it simples.

    I use it for personal use but we've been advised as staff by our LA that we can't use it for any work files as there may be a data protection issue as the data is hosted in America.

    Ahh cheers guys, blocked by lea but available via T-Mobile and HTC! I'd only do this to good students, this is one of those cases you don't mind going the extra mile...
