id say ask for the half price line rental,
i was on the same package and thats what i said tmobile had offers
just lie through your teeth!!!1 it works they dont want to risk loosing you because each individual person you speak to about it will loose commision if they loose a connection, so you can pretty much ask for an albanian sex slave.

Anyone know what T-Mobiles policy is on repairs under warranty? The keys my boyfriends K770i that I got him at Christmas have started to have their paint peel off and rub away, which looks terrible.
Going to pop in there on the Wednesday, but just looking for a heads up really

From what I know, no manufacturer honours cosmetic wear'n'tear as warranty - unless its identified as a design flaw. Worth a shot tho. Might be less painful to get replacement buttons from ebay etc! Im sure they charge a non-warranty fee if its deemed non warranty.

Hmmm, either way I shant be happy :/ He's done nothing wrong to it and suddenly the paint started peeling off pretty badly. One day it started a little bit and three days later half of that row of keys had lost their paint :/

You could say it is affecting the performance of the phone? This means that if you have mobile insurance it will be covered.

Havent had phone insurance in years
I suspect they might say no, but if they've got any kind of customer service respect they'll do it, or I'll ring up CS and have a word with them, they're always pretty flexible

well this question is a general one to all the network ppl so any1 can answer
i have recently arrived in the UK ( well nt recently ) but a year ago and currently im using a o2 pre pay. Im sure to get a contract they check your credit or something. Is 1 yr sufficient for you to get a contract based service frm any provider. I dnt have a UK credit card but i do have a bank account
thanx in advance

You should be fine as long as the sales person is "Creative" with your time in the country. Worst case scenario you would pay a deposit, but I know I could pass you.

It really depends on your credit history. Some networks will decline your for a contract and some will offer you a contract with a deposit normally £100 which you get back after around six clear payments.
Best way it to take your bank details and proof of I.D into your network of choice and get them to run a credit check.

Ok go to an Orange shop and buy a 3G sim as it sounds as if its not 3G. Just get Orange to transfer your number onto the new sim. I know someone who had similar problem on Orange a while ago and thats what he did.
Forgot about this thread LOL. Anyway, I went into the Orange shop and got a new PAYG 3G Sim and hey presto, instant 3G signal! Thanks Guy's. |

Most networks, in order to pass you clearly, would need at least 3 years history.
I prefer to NOT risk my job over a credit check unlike JiSm, and I suspect most other phone salesman would not want to either. In otherwords, I wouldn't fake a customers time in the country.
Also, most decent credit check systems will realise you're lying and refer or decline it altogether.
