    Yeah what kind of BB do you have and what issues are you having...

    GRRR BTW I wish i could see these RE jobs... I havven't had ONE come through despite checking 50times a day!

    Are you seeing the 28 airside jobs? They are nowhere near my location so I assume everyone can see them?

    Sorry I didn't explain that very well, I'm not having any issues it just, I'm just not overly sure of any add ons it needs.

    For instance I can't see the jobs on grass roots, I can see how many jobs, but when I click to view the jobs I can see the note about picking the most convenient jobs first or something along those lines, but I can't see the details of the job.

    It is a curve, which I know isn't the top model. But it is pretty:D

    So things like do I need to get a pdf reader, is there more than one?

    I haven't really had much of a chance to test it out as when ever the alerts or jobs have come through I have been at home, emails have been coming through to the phone which is great so I am not obsessively sitting at the computer refreshing. I have not wanted to test out picking up jobs at home on it, worrying it might take too long and I would lose the job.

    The only time when anything has come though when I have been out was when I was in by breast feeding peer supporter training session so I have not been in a position to check my phone.

    I used to see 100's of jobs at a time on RE, now I am lucky if it is 12.

    Trying to have a quiet week this week though as wiped myself out doing 9 egg jobs and 3 others over the weekend and need to catch up with my course work for the peer supporter course.

    A petrol job has come up on Gap near me, I hadn't done the training before so I have just read through it all and passed the test. But the drop down box for dates stays short and wont drop down with any dates iyswim. Has anybody come across this before.

    I wondered if it might be that there were no dates left to do it? A travel agent has also appeared and only has tomorrow to do it. Don't think I will do that one though, did it before so not sure if my details will still be on the system and the travel agent kept on ringing me for weeks afterwards last time, I stopped answering the phone in the end.

    On the subject of phones I have recently got a Blackberry and am still getting to grips with it. Is there anything that anyone can recommend that will make it more helpful to me, any pointers?

    Thanks.

    I get the same thing with my local burger job - the drop down is always tiny and greyed out. No idea why. *Shrugs*

    I just use a different name/postcode when I do one again and make an "mistake" when I give my phone number and get two digits the wrong way round (well it is not my fault that they entered it wrong is it :eek:). What I am not sure about is how linked the computer systems are between different shops in the same chain so if you have be careful if you go into another store??

    I did 2 different ones last time and without thinking I gave my actual details in the second one, I couldn't see her screen so I have no idea if my details already came my, showing that I had asked for the exact same holiday quote only the day before. She had already asked if I had already been in to them before and I said no.

    I really wanted to go on the holiday after that though, seemed like a really good quote, had to remind myself though that my children weren't actually the ages I had to use for the brief so the quote would be totally different.

    Yes, but author of the 2nd alert has jumped down peoples throats on many an occasion for posting a duplicate alert and then not going back and deleting it when they see what has happened.
