And I'm not about to forget 3UK either.
...Yeah. And I'm not about to forget 3UK either.<br /><br />Scene's the 3 shop.<br /><br />"I need to buy a PAYG sim. I'm going to be out of the UK, a while, & I need a UK number for emergency calls. Do I need to make periodic calls to keep the SIM live? Once a month be OK?"<br /><br />"Certainly. Is that the phone you wish to use? I'll put the SIM in for you. There you are. And how much call credit do you want?"<br /><br />"£50"<br /><br />Three months later:<br />TEXT message from 3<br />--------<br />As you are not using a 3G handset, 3 is suspending your service.<br />--------<br />Call helpline.<br /><br />£50 credit expires trying to negotiate multilevel menus & hold on for human being<br /><br /><br />Scene: 3 shop, UK, following year.<br /><br />"Our service is only available to 3G handsets"<br /><br />"Well your salesperson put in the SIM card. Wouldn't they know whether it was a 3G handset? In any case, this is deepest rural France, I live. We don't have 3G. Most of the time we're lucky to have any sort of signal. I want a refund"<br /><br /> "I'm sorry, but we don't offer refunds. I can give you a new SIM, with your number reinstated. And credit you with £50 of calls"<br /><br />"What? So you can text me again. To tell me I've been disconnected?"<br /><br />bloke in spainnoreply@blogger.com
