That cheapo Woolies phone was UNLOCKABLE
A waste of £9.99 - the Blackburn Rd shop needed to keep it from Friday till the following Thursday because the young man takes such difficult phones to Manchester on Wednesdays only. When I phoned Thursday they said 'unlockable' - no charge - can collect the useless little ******** at my leisure.
I thought well if I buy a phone that is locked to my Tmobile sim card (with its £13) I will just be able to put in my old sim card (now I have learnt what one looks like and how to do that). So I went onto the Tmobile website and bought their cheapo at £14.99 - it arrived today - put my sim card in and waahey! it works.
It is more complicated to use than my old half brick so I have spent the last couple of hours trying to fathom it out - not been entirely successful yet, but at least the date and time are set
. In error I sent 2 blank messages and a very brief call to a person I was trying to add to my list, so my £13 credit is down a bit
.
So if anyone wants the cheapo with its Orange sim (no money on it) - I will sell it for the knockdown price of £4 - otherwise it will go to Tesco for 50p worth of vouchers (along with the half brick)
