    I don't think you have to pay that much -I pay £18 a month for a Nokia C63 (I think that's the model) comes with 700 free mins , unlimited internet and texts which is more than enough for me. Phone has full keyboard , most of the bells and whistles the Iphone or Crackleberry has that I'd use but a lot cheaper. I did see the same phone on a £10 a month deal this week but only 100 mins . Both deals are with 3 who I was a bit doubtful about but I've had no problems at all-coverage is fine-and even when I used the phone in the US to call home a couple of times it wasn't ridiculously expensive.

    I know people love their I phones but there are cheaper alternatives that may fit your needs.

    Do you have "push" email on it? That's the important thing. I want to get a beep as soon as an email enters my inbox. That way, when the alerts thread emails me to say there is a new posting I can get to it immediately.

    Sally - if you go back to post 3663 on this thread, there is an explanation for ABAi. Regarding RE, try widening your geographical area and make sure all the boxes are ticked for available types of jobs on the top of the search results page.

    Thanks Chocforever, However, I have already done all this, and have got a total of 5 clients on my 'list'. The google list that it gives only gives me these 5, hence my question.
    Regarding RE, I have got my search on 50 miles around my local area, and 50 miles around another area, and all boxes ticked.:(

    with RE I have got the maximum amount of places you are able to have and can nearly always see jobs of some sort or another:D

  • Can anyone who has done a bare testing centre let me know how "professional" they mean by "dress professionally".

    i.e. Do I just dress smartly or will I need to be suited and booted?

    Thanks
