I think she'll be wanting to upgrade her phone for a camera phone before too much longer. Hmm, have to think about the implications of that. I'm not terribly happy with the size or handling of my camera phone, but the contract doesn't complete until May or so. Contracts are a bad idea. If I nick your phone I can make huge quantities of calls at your expense. -- http://www.petersparrots.com http://www.insanevideoclips.com http://www.petersphotos.com "His idea of safe sex is an `X' spray-painted on the rump of animals that are known to kick." |

Electronic parts require the smoke to stay inside to function correctly! |

I knew about it a few hours later in the morning, but it took me all day to get it cancelled. This is because O2 (BT subsidiary, hence pile of con artists) supplied me with a premium rate number to call to report a stolen phone. It is impossible to call a UK premium number from abroad. I had to call someone here to get them to cancel it for me. Kinda difficult as they started asking them to prove they were me.

Who are they?, so that I can avoid them. -- Aidan Karley, FGS Aberdeen, Scotland Written at Fri, 15 Dec 2006 08:31 GMT, but posted later. |
