Guest Rob_Quads Posted November 27, 2002 Report Posted November 27, 2002 Looks like I might have to try the orange shop for mine - just got an email from the mobileshop saying it may now up till the end of NEXT week before they get thiers!
Guest deiwise Posted November 27, 2002 Report Posted November 27, 2002 Most Orange Shops in Berks/Bucks (and probably everywhere else too) are in short supply. My local shop had just 4 of them delivered last week. Still suffering from the stolen Heathrow-batch Will
Guest Rob_Quads Posted November 27, 2002 Report Posted November 27, 2002 I have just rung up the Southampton orange shop and they have said they have spenty in stock and also will give me £50 back for the 6210 I have. I'm going to go in tommorow afternoon and sort it rather than wait for the mobileshop to sort them selves out and also have a second number
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 I thought Orange Gatherings (the SMS based community) was fantastic, but the trial ended (I provided my feedback when they called) and I never heard anything again :) I wonder what happened to it? I guess they canned it? P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 Yeah, i've built SMS software in the past too, killed dead by the ridiculous charges for SMS now of course! :) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 I probably would have paid a tenner a month for Gatherings... P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 I was 'paulsphone' on Locust... :) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 The locust page: http://www.locust.net/ Doesn't seem to have been updated in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time. I remember when Orange Imagineering took them under their wing to provide flat rate SMS, then royally shafted them :) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Just emailed Jon (head Locust honcho), although I don't know if it'll get to him as I kinda guessed his e-mail address :) Does anyone else think that Locust could be resurrected using a GPRS based send / receive mechanism instead of SMS? It seems to me that LCS is ready to rise from the ashes... :D Failing that, let's start our own :D /me fires up Visual Studio :P P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 No WAY! The best thing about locust was the way to meet new people through the chat channels, interest channels etc. I whiled away many a bored hour signed in to 'XChat' (I think it was called), where you just hung out and chatted to random people. :) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Brilliant! :D btw: http://www.mobiholics.net/Were-you-a-Locust-user-t21.html :) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Thinking about it, I think Warner2k3 was Tim Warner, not our very own. Bet squall was squall tho :) P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Oh yeah, kicking as a mod on those channels was great, people got so peeved, lol! P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 I had, and still have, an 0(7)973. Oh, the Kudos :) There were some great foreign SMSCs that worked for ages, then some that would survive an hour before being killed by all the traffic. Those were the days... P P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Very interesting... do the texts you send using it come from your own number? Be interesting to see if they can make it financially stable! P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 I'm about to sign up, sporkguy - PM me your phone number if you want me to enter you as the referrer! P
