    Thanks, I think I made the mistake going for the Wii, but I like the phone and don't want anything any bigger. I don't suppose I have an option to change my mind on the contract now.....any one know?

    They don't seem to on Orange for some reason. Hows the reception? If its 'bad' then maybe you can swap to another cheaper contract with them.

    its bad! I do have wi-fi at home. I cannot connect to the internet without wi-fi and the signal comes and goes for calls and sms.
    But I think this is going to be the same for any network (I'm in the sticks :D)

    Not sure what to do really. I think I'd be happer on a cheaper contract, same phone.

    One thing to add: no one actually in the shop checked the coverage in my area

    Thanks

    Carphonewarehouse states for orange pay monthly phones

    "^Unfortunately we do not operate a change of mind policy on this product. However, if your product is defective in any way or if you are having difficulties with coverage then please contact us as soon as possible. "

    So use the coverage issue to change contract and move to a cheaper tarriff

    well CPW cancelled my contract as the signal is so poor. Very pleased and it was a fairly painless process. :T

    Alright for some! I got the same phone (but with a defective display) on the same contract, never had a decent service from day one and neither CPW or Orange give a crap. Plus I never got a free Wii.

    The world hates me though so it's probably that. :rotfl:
