I need an adaptor to adapt a 2.5mm plug to a standard 3.5mm socket and it seems hard to find although adaptors to convert a 3.5mm plug to a 2.5mm socket are widely available.
anyone know where to find one?
for interest, I got a pokia (yeah, I know....  ) and it comes with a 2.5mm plug. This would have plugged into my old Jam no problem but the JasJar and the adaptor I have for the K750 have 3.5mm sockets
edit: btw, I have found some stereo 2.5mm socket to 3.5mm plug adaptors but they don't seem to convey the microphone connection so while they work fine for the headset part the other party can't hear a word I say!

yes, exactly the opposite
I've got several 3.5mm socket to 2.5mm jack adaptors from my P series and JAM days but can't find anything so that I can plug this Pokia into my 3.5mm sockets!
all help appreciated as I wanna pull this baby out in the office one soon day for a laugh

I would have thought Maplin would have sold them, but if not, how about splicing together one yourself?
Btw, love the handset, may have to make a pair of big can headphones with full curly flex for my w800!

a handy man I am not, unfortunately
I got one of these for my brothers recent birthday and also got an adaptor for his Nokia 6230 and it was so much fun I had to get one for myself. they just don't supply an adaptor for 3.5mm which is a little frustrating

Approximately 3 months ago I was looking for the opposite of what you're looking for, and I was offered what you are looking for now (i.e. 2.5mm > 3.5mm) I can't remember the name of the shop, but it is on Tottenham Court Road. If you are coming from Centrepoint up towards Goodge Street (and you're on Tottenham Court Road) it's just past the first pub on your right hand side. The shop is roughly located within the red circle on the map below.

I know TCR fairly well and I think I know the shop your talking about (I certainly know the pub) so I'll head up there on Monday and check it out.
thanks for the tip!

So you want to use something that is 2.5mm....in a 3.5mm socket? or the other way round, i just want to clear this up... As i have a cable which allows you to use 3.5mm plugs in 2.5mm sockets!

there are plenty of adaptors that do what we already have but it seems impossible to find one that does what I need now, though I will give the shop suggested earlier a lookin
thanks for the help, I know it can be a little confusing with all these adaptors and I'm surprised that the Pokia comes with a 2.5mm plug and that they have loads of adaptors but none that convert it to a standard 3.5mm socket

@tempsonyfreak, thanks again. the top one would be the correct one if it mentioned it had support for the mic.
as mentioned in the opening post, I have already bought three such adaptors which do adapt correctly but which only support the headset (i.e. the hearing) and not the mic (i.e. the talking)
I'm beginning to wonder if such a beast actually exists

I know here in Tokyo in electric avenue (Akihabhara) you can have them splice together any cable you want and basically they should be able to have it all fired up in a few minutes...
Il try and have a look for you if I go down there tomorrow its just that I came back from there today and just saw your post now. If you can give me a bit more detail about the mic part of things and if you could attach a few photos (makes it easier on the japanese side of things)
