MSE News: EE unveils portable smartphone chargers to replace 'Orange Wednesdays'

treowth

I'm off to pick up my free power bar. I sent a text at 00.15 this morning and received a reply almost straight away saying that it didn't start until the 16th (EE land must be a bit behind Greenwich Mean Time), but that I wouldn't be charged for the text. I sent another at 10:18 this morning and received my code 27 minutes later. While I already have a power bank I'm getting this one for the convenience of being able to exchange it for a fully charged one in a EE store if it runs out.

I didn't receive a code until I sent a text in capitals. Didn't get charged until I received the code

I wonder if there is prioritising going on?
Maybe PAYG will be last. Or are all these posts from contract users?

My wife has an ancient Nokia 3210 that she still uses on occasion and gets on average a 20p per month bill from Orange

Is this going to allow her to obtain a free charger ?
To start with - it I not a smart phone - so simple txts only
Then there's the plug that the phone charges through
We might just try this - out of interest.....

Shame the solution to phones that don't last a day is more options to recharge, not work to make the existing battery last longer. I've gone back to a Nokia bar phone and get more than 5 days out of it.

I have a quad core Android 5" screen phone that lasts 5+ days on standby as well. 2,000mAh battery.


People run out of juice because they are playing video games and streaming One Direction.


I wonder if there is a mobile addict detox centre where you can be kidnapped and dumped in.
