The Saga of the Mobile Phone

I am obviously destined not to have a working mobile phone.

For some time now, I have had problems with my mobile phone. It all started about a year ago, when I moved to Streatham, to a room with hardwood floor boards. One day my phone rang, but it was on vibrate, so it vibrated fair off my bedside table and CRASH! onto the floor. Never worked the same again.

So my mate Nic loaned me a phone. Much appreciated. However I don't like flip phones, and I really liked my little Ericsson T66 - so I bought another one second hand on ebay. Seriously, this phone is the smallest mobile you'll see. Alas, it kept powering down mid phone call - and then one day, it too, took a suicide leap off my bedside table. Bye bye phone.

I discovered a great little website called www.mobdeals.com where you can get a free phone, plus free line rental. So, I ordered a Sony Ericsson K610 - but each company I ordered from when push came to shove, did not have the phone I wanted. Or the ability to port my T-Mobile pay as you go number to the new network.

Finally I found a company that did, www.mobilerainbow.co.uk so I go ahead with the phone, eventually it arrives - and it keeps powering down mid call. I've sent it back, but I don't hold much hope that I'll get a working phone.

Alas.
