MDA Vario and train tickets


Recommended Posts

I wondered if anyone has experienced the same problem as me.

I travel into London by train everyday and have always put my SPV C500 in the same pocket as my train tickets without any problems.

I have got myself a MDA Vario and have found that whenever I put the train ticket in the same pocket as the Vario, the ticket seems to get wiped and won't work on the automatic barriers. :shock:

I am now on my second replacement ticket (Season) and am keeping it well away from my phone.

If it is the case that the phone is interfering with the mag stripe, then I guess it would be a good idea to keep away from credit cards, etc!!

the wizard uses a magnetic switch to flip the screen to landscape when you open it. It is probably that. :)

why don't you get an oystercard? :)

shouldn't affect bank cards though. but hey, if it does, maybe it'll clear my overdraft?!

Actually I figure that it isn't the phone, but more likely to be the case that comes with the phone from T-Mobile which has 4 HUGE magnets in it!!!!
