I'm happy with my 6310, free calls, free texts and no line rental.










Otherwise known as a work phone.

I'm sure you are happy with the work phone.........I used to be happy with mine until I realised it was frying what little remained of my brain and also allowed the leeches from work to try and get me to do stuff I had no intention of doing........

"sure I'll just drop everything I'm doing on my day off and tell you all about some work related **** I couldn't care less about"

Or maybe not. Work phones suck. so does BIK tax

I upgrade mine every 12mths aswell, keeps the insurance going, hence on my 3rd replacement phone since May !!! this way , yeah i pay extra but can do what i want with my phone and NEVER worry about it letting me down, one call to cust serv. and a new one with me tomoro. IMHO if you arte a reasonably heavy user a more modern phone, will perform better EVERY time. Low user, why do you need a fashoin acessory.

Just my thoughts anyhow !!

Couple of things...

But it will cost you at least 50P to send it.................
[photo] Not if you have bluetooth, d/l to ur PC and send FREE via email

2nd, I upgrade every 12 months, usually get a free phone and a new number (so no more annoying spam texts or weirdos who end up with ur number somehow), oh... and then i sell my 12month old phone SIM FREE, usually for around £50.

So, all in all, it suits me fine to upgrade every 12 months

And actually SAVES me money

The only reason I recently got myself a new phone, was that I wanted my own private phone, so I can turn the work one off

plus I have just come back from a drive across Death Valley, and needed a phone that would work in the good old US of A

My work phone is a 6310i, and has been dropped/chucked more times than I care to remember, the phone just keeps on working, never had a dropped call etc (btw work wouldnt enable it for use abroad)

My old 2 5110's & 2 7110's no longer hold any decent charge in the batterries other than that they have all been flawless too (oh and dropped/chucked far too many times) and the screens occasionally fade on them too

I thought about getting a new battery, but in the end decided on a new phone (as it was free on contract)(lighter, not as bullky, and more memory)

I use mine instead of a land line - that way you can always tell whether its worth answering. I have updated along the way to get smaller models that now fit your pocket as opposed to needing a rucksack to carry it in. Although I still only use it for texts and calls - can't see the point in all the extras.

Must agree about the obsession. I went up town a few weeks back and every ****** in the clubs seemed to be constantly texting and taking photos - presumably telling their mates what a good time they were having instead of just having a good time.

There is one big advantage of the newer models - I am now able race vibrating phones across pub bars to the Benny Hill Theme tune!
