New Phone

I'm getting a new phone on monday. It's got a really good camera with it so I'll be boring you all with pics over the next couple of weeks!

This is what I'm getting....

My phone is very basic.

Looking forward to more pics of dempsy

windows phone is the way to go caryll

check you out with ya fancy tech molly gee

8meg that bloody good... i like my blackberry

the camera dont need to be loads of pixels either as they give great pictures (second to none )for a phone anyway as they have a proper os and processer to capture images
motion shoots you will be really suprised with how good a picture you get

My oh's getting a blackberry 9790 bold. I prefer a touchscreen - that's what I've got now. The one I've got now has a nice camera but no zoom. I don't make that many phone calls, texts or anything so any phone I get has to have something to tempt me!

It was more expensive than I wanted, but I liked it!

you will have to get an xbox 360 now so you can sync them together caryll lol
plus really nice to have a proper google/bing explorer so you can surf the web easy

I didn't understand a word of that..............

does your son or daughter have an xbox games system

No, my son has PS3.

shame as you can sync your phone to the xbox and you can see what games been played how long playing and at what time xbox being played on you can even turn off remotely >

That would be funny! >

oooooohhhhh beleive me it is > > >

If I could afford it I'd go out and get an XBox just to see his face!

actually they were called celluler telephones when first brought out .
the term mobile telephone was first used in 1994 when nokia unvailed there celluler telephone the same size as a mars bar or for the more ruff brought up the same size as a 2 ounce bar of canibis

I think they are still called cell phones in America, I'm sure our American colleagues can answer that one correctly.

Oh yeah forgot they used to be called celluler. My dad used to have one in his truck. I think the network was BT cellnet. I also remember him thinking he was right posh having one.

that brings back memories the old bt cellnet phones were you toped up 10pounds and added a code at the end and got 100pounds worth of credit they must have lost a fourtune lol

MY PHONE'S NOT COMING TILL TUESDAY NOW!!!

It won't be back in stock till monday & they're sending it by next day courier.

... Its a sign Caryll, ya shoulda joined the Samsung revolution

I love gettin a new phone

My oh was tempted by the Samsung, but decided to stick with bb.

I like a touch screen, though. Very tactile, me!

Well, the phones arrived today, but because they came by post rather than doing the deal in the Orange shop, the sim doesn't get activated till friday!

I hate mobile phone companies, especially o2 ewwwwww

Still really mad at them for something that happend 6 years ago, would never go near them ever again.

They took 340 quid out of my account which they shouldn't have and I got quite angry with one of their reps on the phone. Wrote to the chairman and ended up with 50 quid as a good will jesture, didn't come anywhere near close.
i hate them i hate them i hate them

Did you get the rest back? How did they take it?

Yes I did get the rest of the money back I phoned my bank and reversed the transaction. I dont think o2 like that very much, the rep was really bad and I reported him.

At least you got it back.

I've heard awful things about o2 - a couple of guys my oh works with are on the o2 network, but they'll be changing when their contract runs out.

I'm with Orange, and I must admit I've not had any problems with them.

Hubby and I are with TMobile at the mo both contracts end in September so will be looking soon, what are orange like ?

its now orange t mobile kathy so no change
and caryll use your old sim in the new phone untill friday plus while its in save all your contacts to phone from your old sim

They're pretty good once it's all up & running. Never get a problem with signals & they've never claimed the wrong amount.

I can't, Wazza! The old phone has a standard sim but the new one has a micro sim!

Never mind, it'll all be ok on friday evening.

haha your easy put off caryll just go on the net and see how to cut the sim down to fit lol.

Not much point, really - it switches over tomorrow! I might just as well wait.

haha im not pationt like you caryll

I am patience personified............

Glad to hear that someone has some patience as I have none at all. If there is ever more than one person in a queue for anything I just walk away, I cannot stand there I would just boil over. Having said that I have never lost my patience with Rocky or my hubby, I guess loved ones are different.

Good luck for tomorrow and your new phone Caryll, hope it all works OK when you do get it.

So exciting new phones

Well. It's 28th July, the day after my phone was supposed to go 'live'.

It takes superb pics & vids (haven't worked out how to get them on here yet, but I will!), the internet is super-quick & easy to use, good sound on playing music.

Brilliant.

Except..........

I can't make or receive phone calls, and I can't send or receive texts! Apparently, according to the phone, the sim card is damaged! Tried phoning the Orange helpline (it's their phone after all) but they only work monday to friday!

Aaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!!!!!

Caryll, who supplied the SIM card ? Are you able to contact them or go into the shop ?

Orange supplied it, it came with the phone. I don't know if the shop would get involved, but even if it did, they would probably have to contact the sales team who only work mon - fri.

I might pop in to town this afternoon & see what the people in the shop say. SO annoying.

I dont know if this would be any help, might be worth a try:

SORRY this only mon-fri
