Don't see what the problem is with a 10 year old battery?
I had a battery in my calculator from 1978 and it went and stopped working last autumn ..... bloody cheek!! Just 27years out of it!

10 Hour battery life, those were the days
Should have read the title, this is certainly not in any use.

What???
On a contract that doesn't exist, using batteries that won't work?
Howz about posting a picture of your phone (maybe with a copy of your monthly statement), with a live Orange operator logo, and no external power???
Or are you just a bandwidth waster?

You either take it on face value or you act like the ***** you are!
1. I HAVE the said phone on its own power
2. I have it on a monthly contract from ORANGE, based on the Virgin Contract
3. I only pay for calls made!
I simply don't see whats odd about that - there must be 1000's of people out there with the very SAME!!

A bit of light-heated humour makes me "VERY stupid"? As stupid as yourself sir?
I'm not the one making false claims that I have no intention, nor ability of backing up

Ooooh - it's tantrum time!
...but as i pointed out earlier, your alleged Virgin Contract could not have existed when you said that you moved to it, because Virgin Mobile didn't start until at least three years later!.
You must have been holding your phone too close to your head and fried your brains

PSl, is your employer (and collegues) happy with you lugging a radiation sources around in a rucksack?
Does GCHQ ask you to stop shouting (if) whenever you get rung?
Dou you know the EM emissions of your antique (phone)?

PSL once again makes himself look stupid, then covers it up by accusing everyone else of making themselves look stupid.
If you have the proof post it up, if you don't shut up.

I'll start the list then ..
The following names admit that they are complete and utter tossers if pslewis provides images which show a the above named mobile phone with an Orange Logo on powered by its own battery ..
Place names here:-

You may need to provide proof of the date as the pic could be several years old... maybe stand holding said phone with todays paper? Or better still a loaf of bread on your head with a best before date in advance of todays date.

Still stalling, so you don't have the proof then?
I'll admit to being a tosser if you post a pic of yourself with said phone and today's paper.
I think it's a fairly safe bet that you won't. It has to be today as well. There's no reason you can't presumably?
