Mobile phones...they are still frustrating me.
I haven't been out this weekend......I know, it is a sin and a crime to have a new camera and a sunny weekend and not make use of it.
I think they must have cut some of the grass verges on the motorway on Friday......and our neighbours cut their back lawns too...so Saturday I was paying for it.
My eyes were running constantly...they felt as if my eyeballs had been rolled in sand.
My throat was sore too and I was reall snotty again. And I HAD taken my anti-histamines too...so how bad would I have been had I not taken them.
Because of this I stayed indoors with the windows closed.
If you have read my previous blog you will know that I was trying to sort out a mobile phone for an old lady that we shop for and generally keep an eye on.
Himself had toddled off to the Vodafone shop on Friday and come home without any sort of success.
Saturday he tried the same job again. I told him to tell the girl in the shop that the phone was on Vodafone...it had Vodafone promotional messages on it as well as the start up screen.
I told him to ask her to put a sim in it and £30 of credit.
When he came back I could not believe what she had fobbed him off with.
He had told her that I had said the phone was on Vodafone and asked her to put a sim in the phone.
She told him he would have to come back and ask what Network the phone was on.....she told him that 02 was a network, but Vodafone was not a network......she also wanted to charge him £10 for a sim card.
He baulked at that and came home no nearer to having this phone up and running than he had on the previous day.
Well, my patience was abit short so to say I was fuming was an understatement.
He also said the girl laughed at him when he told her that I had said the phone was on the Vodafone network.....and implied that I didn't know what I was talking about.
Not impressed, not a bit impressed.
Anyway, I took my sim card out of my phone and put it into the mobile...and the phone worked.
Today I have bought a sim card in Asda. I have put it into the phone, I have phoned Vodafone to get a swipe card and on Wednesday himself is going into Blackburn with the said phone, sim card in it, to top up some credit and show the girl that the phone IS on the Vodafone Network......and I think he might just give her a piece of his mind.
Have you ever heard of anything so crazy and mixed up?
I told him that had he been going in to the shop to get himself the newest Iphone she would have danced attendance on him...but because it is just a bog standard 'no money in it' phone......she just couldn't be bothered.
Smart phones and daft folk!
I would only consider a phone 'smart' if it vacummed the house and did the ironing!
So until they can do these jobs I won't be having one.
