I had the opportunity to ditch my old ad very basic mobile phone for something a bit more up to date, so I paid my £25 for a £50 phone and changed it, I wanted to keep my old number as I'd had it a few years, well that was a marathon job, I’d also put £10 on account. Somehow that disappeared and before I knew i had 13p left, not even enough to make a call, it is a PAYG as I don’t use it much so have no use for 500 texts etc.
I couldn’t access my number as it kept cutting out, but fortunately I went on their Forum and found the answer, I put on another £10 …. I checked a while later and discovered I was down to £9.13p, and I hadn’t made ay proper calls, so I’m now trying to find out what calls I made that cost me so much, I contacted the firm and I was recommended to call their premium rate number at £1.53 per minute!, I wish I’d kept my old phone.
Got some soup on the go, first of the season and it smells gooooooood.
I was out for a meal last night with my friends from the dancing group to celebrate three birthdays. I had a steak, very disappointing as it was quite gristly., and to add to it, I woke up at 5am feeling queasy, but fortunately it passed.
Another disappointment, when we went into the restaurant, they were putting up a Santa’s Grotto complete with letter box. it’s the first of October for heavens sake.
Not the best of evenings but normally they are good times.
For some reason lots of people are apparently ‘liking’ my posts, now why don’t you just go a bit further and leave a comment../ please?
Hi Arlene, sounds like you got a smart phone. You have to go to the phone store and have them disable a lot of services that you don't need, for as it is now your phone will ping the towers and every time it does that it will cost you some money. I had the same problem and it took me a while to figure it out. If you still get no help then give me an e-mail and I will go through my phone and give you an idea of what I did to stop the money drain.
ReplyDeleteYou wonderful kind man Horst, and I thank you for your offer, You have been proved right, as I have spent almost all evening on the chat line then eventually the phone [free] getting it sorted from the Vodafone staff, He has put a bar on it to stop the drain as you rightly call it and re-imbursed some money, but I'll still keep an eye on the balance. I only have it for emergency and spent around £20 a year maximum around $30 so I certainly don't intend upping it. Lovely to hear from you, and if I get into any more trouble I'll know who to contact. take care and hope you are well.X
DeleteWhen I moved here I gave up my expensive phone service and brought a tracfone. It serves me fine as I only need it when I have an emergency. I hope you get yours all straightened out.
ReplyDeleteI am getting in the mood to make some soup now that you have mentioned it.
Sounds like what I use my phone for Beth, as I commented to Horst.
DeleteI had some soup to-day, and it went down well :-)
