    Hi. just got my nokia 5800
    I have trouble finding to type a message, I get to create it, but then. I want the page with numbers/letters. can never seem to find it.
    if anty1 can help.?

    Click where the writing would go into the message and it should bring up a keypad on the screen, from the keypad you can change the type of keypad you want to use (e.g. handwriting, mini-qwerty, full qwerty, alphnumeric etc.)

    bloody vodafone - thought I'd finally got an upgrade I was happy with - I asked him to give me an hour to check out the phone I wanted and he said he'd call back - that was two days ago and because he offered me that I still didn't order my PAC :mad:

    Now I have to sit listening to crap on 191 until I get through again tonight.
  • Just asked vodafone for my PAC number and been offered
    Blackberry Curve
    600 mins
    unlimited texts, emails and internet
    £24.47 a month for 24 months.
    The term seems like a long one, do you think i could negotiate further?

    Yip, that's not very good for a 24 month contract. I [EMAIL="WOULDN@T"]WOULDN'T[/EMAIL] accept that

    surprise surprise, rang vodafone this morning (due to excessive paranoia) and they can't find a new phone or a new contract deal. Apparently there is nothing showing my account and the call I received yesterday had no details logged in it.

    One last email today and I am signing up to another company, I don't care if it's more expensive. I'd rather have the hours of my life back.

    Got a phone call from vodafone this morning saying they would honor the deal, but they have no phones in stock. was promised a call back in an hour, no surprise that NOTHING has happened since then.


    This is too much stress, might move to o2 and get the iphone.
  • Currently on 18 months
    250mins
    250txt
    stop the clock + passport
    for £25 and am happy with what im getting but want the same contract but with free internet and a sony C905.
    Been offered the same contract and c905 for £50 from 1st call to upgrades. Am i likely to get the free internet and the phone for free if i ask for my PAC?
