Having dropped and broken my pay as you go phone at the weekend I needed to buy a new one. Decided that the Virgin £12 pay monthly deal, which included the phone would be as cost affective as pay as you go + phone cost so placed an order. Now admittedly I couldn't understand a word the guy said on the phone but I did hope he had it right. Waited in all day Wed and nothing arrived. Had an email confirming the order but when I contacted Virgin they said no order had been placed so, rather than wait in another day decided I'd trott to the local shops after work and would instead buy pay as you go phone from carphone warehouse.
Get to car phone warehouse, choose my phone (samsung 700) and the guy ssys, I'd really rather not sell you that as they are not reliable (nice sales pitch). Fine says I what do you recommend bearing in mind the £50 budget and I don't need a sim card as I will be keeping my existing number. B...r me if the price didn't then go from £50 to £129 for that same Samsung phone and there was absolutely nothing in my price range unless I changed number which I didn't want to do.
So get home and place order with Virgin again and resign myself to staying in for another day.. ho hum.... time wasters all of them.
