Guest Paul (MVP) Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Boo, that sucks. So the question is, is £42.50 good for unlimited SMS and web? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robbmasters Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Boo, that sucks. Indeed it does. So the question is, is £42.50 good for unlimited SMS and web? Well, after cashback it works out as about £38 per month overall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robbmasters Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Got my phone this morning. Can't switch text to web for the life of the contract as the contract is not with O2, its with CPW/O2. I've been repeatedly told 90 days, so it might be worth trying again... At the moment, I think I'm gonna stay with O2 rather than cancel and go to T-Mobile. Edited December 13, 2008 by robbmasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, I think I'm gonna stay with O2 rather than cancel and go to T-Mobile. interested to see how the phone is with text entry (not with stylus), ie ease of use. also, how you get on with O2 would be impt wrt swappng texts to web or not!

Guest Monolithix Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hmm ordered mine on Wednesday evening (as per my post above), and it didn't arrive until Saturday, so much for next day delivery (also it went to my home home address, not my uni one :rolleyes:! Still a bit miffed you can't change the bolt-on. Might be worth waiting for it to come out on o2 proper, depends on the deals they have I guess.

Guest SsSiIiMmM Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Ahh, also just had a thought, even if we can change bolt on we would have to give up our cashback for changing the tariff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 But no one ever gets cashback anyway - so don't worry about it :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shaolin Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) cool - well hope its at least 500 texts, that would do me fine! Signed up for it on Tuesday and received it today on the 600 mins contract as stated above. After some wrangling i got the unlimited texts chaned over to unlimited web browsing, The contract has 500 texts included anyway. I called up 02 after receiving it who then told me as i purchased through mobiles.co.uk (Carphone Warehouse) i would need to contact them instead and gave me their number. So i did this and got a recorded message on the carphone warehouse line stating for support on any phones purchased after 2007 on 02 you need to contact 02 on 0870 5860860. Second time lucky spoke to a helpfull chap who went off and checked with the team and updated my account to unlimited web browsing instead which is due to take effect tomorrow. Hope you guys are as succesfull. :rolleyes: Stuart. Not sure if it made a difference i told them i hadnt taken it out of the box yet because if I couldnt change it i will send it back and cancel the order.

Guest Monolithix Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I called o2 on their landline number before opening the sim pack (in case I wanted to return it). I had no problems at all getting it all changed. Checked this morning and it's gone through, just need to wait for my number port now :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robbmasters Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Managed to get mine changed too. :rolleyes: But they really didn't want to. I only succeeded because I had an email from O2 (from before I bought the phone) telling me that I would be able to change it...

Guest Monolithix Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hmm, no such problems here. She had to check something with another department but came straight back and said it was fine! Even confirmed I'd got it through mobiles.co.uk online first. Same old story I guess, depends who you speak to :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SsSiIiMmM Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yup got mine changed too. You can call their freephone number they usually change it first time you ask. 0800 5874715 Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...120#post3032120 Although possible problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3063864 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yes I saw that earlier. It's been just over 24 hours for me, will check again tomorrow and see if it's still there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Good luck Mono. With the web bolt on it's a good deal - if you can't change the text one, not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrRalphMan Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Ordered mine Yesterday, Web site says it's in stock. Got an Email yesterday evening stating that they cannot deliver next working day and will let me know when they can. Called them today and they state it's out of stock, but they website still claims it's in stock. Will have to see if there are any other deals or if I wait around for this one.

Guest Mr Alom Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Paul, I was thinking of buying the same package as you but when I contacted them couple of days ago asking them if I could return it, only if I'm not happy with the device or the contract...and this is the reply I go... you can only return and cancel you phone/contract if the box has not been opened. i know it doesn't sound very fair but unfortunately that is our returns policy. any other related queries please give our sales team a call on 0800 081 3344. -- Mitchell Carter Sales Advisor mobiles.co.uk ======================================== Mobiles.co.uk Sales Team http://www.mobiles.co.uk Tel://http://www.mobiles.co.uk[/color...uot;]Tel: (08700) 804444 Fax: (08700) 802222 I'm going to wait until my upgrade on T-Mobile now. At least by buying online if the tariff does turn out to be something bizarre we can return the device (like I did with the G1 in the end!)

Guest Confucious Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Isn't that illegal under the distance selling regulations? Edited February 16, 2009 by Confucious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hmm, i thought they got round it by claiming the goods had to be kept in their original condition, however paragraph 3.47 would seem to imply their terms are not enforcable! http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_...eral/oft698.pdf (Disclaimer: the link is to the guide and not the actual regs, I am no lawyer :rolleyes:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I argued with Next Directory under Distance Selling Regs ... they didn't admit to the fault, but I got a fiver gift voucher instead! I'd clearly and concisely argue with them about their returns policy under DSR. For the same reason I won't ever buy for CarphoneWarehouse ... they have a really screwed up returns policy instore ... so I wouldn't even like to mess about with them about DSR.
