Mobile Phone Rip-Off

Postby James Bluntus » Mon Aug 03, 2009 4:38 am

I am an Australian, I am on a pre-paid mobile. I put $30.00 on 10 days ago. I havn't used my phone since I put the credit on. I have now $8.21. WTH. I have to go to my provider(Telstra) tommorrow to sort it out. I will keep you posted.

I know this is banned but I cannot help myself

Cool story bro

No-one cares mate.

You probably forgot to put your keylock on, and one of the people whose number is in your contact list (or a random stranger) got those calls that go:

"Hello?"
"bump bump bump scrape bump bump ..."
"Hello? Did you call me?"
"bump bump bumpabump bump bump ..."
"Who is this?"
"bump bump bump scrape bump scrape ..."
"HELLO ??"
"bump bump bump bump bump ..."
"Oh fuck it." *hangs up*

I'm being silly. Check your recent outgoing call register on the phone, and see if you dialled any numbers you don't remember.

My uncle does this all the fucking time. Thing is, he lives on the Isle of Man, and I live in Ireland. Ouch.

I had a phone I liked in many ways (particularly good battery life.) But its keylock sequence couldn't be changed and it was something really dumb like two adjacent keys. The keypad would get activated by exactly the thing the keylock is supposed to STOP: the phone being bumped in my pocket.

Sold it on, bought the peice of shit which recently broke all by itself, for a second time. Samsung, if anyone cares.

My next phone is going to be the most basic Nokia I can buy. Might even go second-hand.

I doubt that was it because, It was WAP charges (Internet).

I used to have a brick of a phone. I now have an iPhone. Just as reliable, 10 zillion times more functionality. I just can't throw it as hard as I can against a wall without it breaking anymore (which I used to do with my old phone).

Mine has a button on the side, but that's because its a touch screen majigger. So even if the touch pad gets unlocked nothing much happens.
