Phone hooks are all the rage these days, little ring that sticks to the back of your handset/spare case and slots nicely into the air vent. Had to get one myself the other day (well, the young lad had a spare one) as I left my cradle in a hire car in Spain. Fortunately my phone came with a free gel case that I had no use for until now.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Tried to contact John Boyle the Whistle Taxi App Promoter and Director of White Dove Taxis Ltd for research and to see what the motivation is behind the app, no response from either. Looks like the guy had the idea but didn't push it too much. Doesn't seem to have an active business or online presence for taxi services or taxi rental.

great name for the app by the way.
evokes images of cunts whistling at your car and expecting you to pick them up.
Is the app for cunts, by cunts or something.

Seen the stickers on a few bumpers.The problem he might have now is that the PUC is back.Drivers might not have the hunger for a new app as much.Maybe all the talk around Whistle prompted Mytaxi to change thier policy faster than they wanted.Fear of competition is a great motivator.The more apps the better.

I noted during a recent survey they sent me Mytaxi seemed interested to know whether I was working with Uber or other apps.

Yes Hal and I also said I worked 14 hours a day.7 days a week.

Some questions were like do you rent a gaff have a mortgage,own a gaff,kids/no kids, Single/married.Fukkers are trying to profile us.They can't control us without figuring out which boxes to put us in.

They're sending them out in waves....you'll get one in time unless your work patterns are consistent I'm guessing.

Indeed. If it wasn't for the erm advising all potential entrants to the app market to invest elsewhere we'd have trousered a whole lot more. I understand that he got a decent wedge from Bill Cullen for his consultancy services but why he's providing others with the same service free of charge is beyond me.

He's a gas character...telling entrepreneurs to stay away from a potentially lucrative taxi business while telling everyone else to invest in Uber that makes feck all in Ireland.

I'd say Bill Cullen feels like a right fukkin eejit after giving him money for advice he gives everyone else FOC.
