Mobile Meanderings, The End

[denny]

Orange customer retention department once again justify their existence. They're sending me a new Nokia 6630 tomorrow, to replace the broken one. They're also sending me a new Sony Ericsson K600i, because I'm fed up with the Nokia anyway. And they're transferring me from my current talk plan (200 minutes which I never use more than 60 of, 120 texts which I always use more than, £38 a month) to a shiny new one (100 minutes, 500 texts, £25 a month). Orange now own my soul for the usual 12 months again, but that seems reasonable.

I am teh win, I guess. And I might be able to phone people by tomorrow evening, which will be handy. And reply to text messages, which will stop me screaming at my phone whenever I receive one and hit 'reply' without thinking :)

"I am TEH win"? *scratches head...*

I never expected to see that surface in your journal-I remember you telling me how actively you hated it!

That was you spelling 'the' as 'da' as I recall, and in the context of a phase you were going through of spelling every other word wrong in all your posts at the time. I found it quite hard to understand what you were talking about without stopping every line or two to translate. :) I notice you've stopped doing it now...

Yay! The new plan sounds good :D

hmmm so you think I should bite at 200 mins and 500 txts for £20 from vodafone then...?

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

If you have a similar usage pattern to me, then yeah - that was the one I would have gone for on Vodafone.

[aiwendel.livejournal.com]

I use about 120 mins usually (apparently, but this does vary alot), and probably less than 100 txts....

Glad you found something that suited though...

Well, apart from the fact that I'd rather shove a phone where the sun don't shine than become a Vodafone customer again after the last two times, and the ways they treated me...

The K600i is a lot nicer than the 6630; the phone I have to use to be oncall from work is a 6630 and it's really horrible compared to my own K600i.

It's good that they're sending you a new Nokia as well. beleive me, I tried this and you'll go crawling back when the other phone just doesn't do things right :)

Yeah, I'm quite scared of crossing the phone brandname boundary. :)

the biggest problem I had, and i don't know how well S/E do this, but some other brands' keylock systems just don't work and my pocket was running me up colossal bills.

My Nokia 3310 had an alarming habit of phoning the police on a regular basis. It did it once when I was driving someone home from a large and less than entirely legal transaction, which we were discussing at great length on the drive :) I imagine the 999 operators hang up on people's pockets fairly quickly since mobiles became common, which is probably fortunate.
