  • Could you get this phone without a SIM card as I think it would be ideal for Mrs MbW? She is Russian, and is with her family at the moment and her original little Siemens MT55's screen has died.

    WARNING: PLEASE READ POST BELOW RE T9 AND SHOCKING PREPAYMANIA TREATMENT
    EDIT: I'm fuming! Just had a reply to my ticket with PPM, after discovering the handsets that I bought were intended for the CIS/Russian market, hence no T9. PPM have subsequently removed the T9 feature from their list of features on the website. I still have the web page from last week open on my mac, unfortunately for them! I'd steer clear of this bunch of cowboys in the future! Just a word of warning. If you are happy to use Russian predictive text, then fine!

    Jeez man, what you getting so worked up about !, you got two phones for free, zilch, nada, nil, gratis, you could probably send them straight off to one of these recycling places and make a couple of quid on the deal, don't fume, relax, have a beer :beer:, shrug your shoulders, have a giggle about Russian predictive text, it'll make a great tale for the netball girls on Friday night with a half of lager shandy, inbetween discussing Friends repeats on E4, there's world wars going on out there ya know :eek:

    Chill...........:cool:, look into the eyes, not around the eyes, look into the eyes ................

    Not free at all.. Prepaymania have also disappeared from TopCashback's site, so not holding out much hope for any cashback. :rolleyes:

    Do you not think, having posted the original thread, that it's fair to post a warning..? :confused:

    It's 2009- Ugly Betty and VRBs, I think you'll find. :beer: But then maybe you don't know many girls..

    Which part of the following quote, orginally posted by the OP says he/she got a phone for free?
    Just bought a couple of these basic phones for a holiday as I didn't want to take my regular phone out.

    Phone is £4.99 when purchased with T-Mobile sim preloaded with £5 calls for £5.

    So that's £9.99 for a mobile with £5 worth of credit...
    Hmmm?

    gazwood, I'm not worked up at all - Just bemused by your posts! I don't know why you are bothering..?

    So unhunch yourself from the keyboard, pop yourself a Findus meal-for-one in the micro and whilst waiting for the *ping* think about how you might make more constructive posts in the future. :)

    Love xxx

    Now, now, stop being a sourpuss...................

    The point is lifes too short to be worrying about trivia like Russian T9 when it ain't cost you a bean.

    Thiose meals for one just don't cut the mustard...............:rotfl:

    Now don't be blowing kisses at blokes - you know where that got you in the tent at Glastonbury..............;)

    My work here is done, throw your *free* phones in the bin, stop worrying about cowboys - you're too old for that and the outfit won't fit, enjoy your adolescence, it's all too quickly gone unfortunately, then real life kicks you in the nads with real issues.....................:confused:
