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?

I have to say that the contract does exist - I've got one and had it for years!

I wanted to give up my Orange contract phone (07976) after a few years and in order to keep me, they swapped it to the Virgin deal. No monthly contract fee and you only pay for your calls/texts. Rate is not bad either. D/D from my bank account.

Of course there's no bundled minutes or anything and the chances for an upgrade are nish but it works. Potential use as an autodialer if only Orange had a signal where I live! Keep it as a spare in the car for when the wife forgets her phone

Wonder if I can get another number on that tariff? Hmm...

Puff,

i know that the contract exists, but it did not exist until three years after pslewis claims that he joined it - fact!!!

I fully believe that you, and Dream Weaver, and imlach are all on the Virgin tariff - but you all pay by Direct Debit. It seems that pslewis is the only person in the known universe who decides when he is going to be bothers to settle his mobile phone account (apparantly via Internet banking now it seems, and without paying any form of administration charge).

But this is all a distraction from the true purpose of this thread - for which pslewis can offer no proof that he has the phone on the contract that he claims!

Oh, and GC8 won the "oldest phone" title in this thread - thus pslewis is yet again a loser

I can offer proof if I cared to. I choose not to.

If you came up to me in the street and demanded that I go home and get my passport so I can show you that I went to Paris 7 years ago - even though I said I did .... do you think I would do that?

In the same way that I have no desire or inclination to prove to you that I have what I say I have - it makes not one bit of difference to my life and, my friend, it shouldn't make any odds to your life either! But clearly you have a fixation about it and me.

Tell you what? You believe whatever you like ..... and I will know the truth and be laughing at you

...or more accurately, it was as if you wandered down the street in a run-down area shouting at the top of your voice...

"Hey everybody, look at me - I SAID LOOK AT ME. I am so flippin' brilliant that i went to Paris a few years ago, way before any of you had even heard of Paris. It's in a country called France y'know! Oh, and by the way - i am considerably richer that yauw"

And some local said "what's that all about?"

And you said "you wouldn't understand because you need a passport to get there, and i have the oldest passport in the world".

So they said "cor, show us yer passport then mate" with a sincere interest.

But you said "er, it was a special passport, which i got three years before passports were invented, and in fact it looks exactly like my Lamborgini Top Trumps card that i have in my pocket."

So they said "Wow!, go on then, show us your Top Trumps card - because i only have an Austin Allegro one"

But you said "I can't, because it is still in it's cellophane wrapper, and besides, i left it at home"

So they said "oh please, go and get it so that i can have a look"

....but you ran away and weren't seen for five weeks.

However, you were spotted lurking behind the TV shop, and the local recognised you, so he asked "Well, have you got that passport that you were bragging about?"

And you said "i will only show you if you tattoo the word "tosser" on your forehead" - but then you disappeared again, swearing and calling everybody names.

Anyway, eight months later you returned, and this time said that you only actually needed a passport every few visits - and it was up to you to "allow" immigration to look at it, not for them to demand to see it ... and you gave them a smug sneer!

At which point the locals decided that you were a sad, attention-seeking loner, and verbally beat the crap out of you

I still have my phone, it is still on the Virgin Tarriff match from Orange, I still get a bill for around 35p a month and wait 3 months before paying it, it still powers up under its own batteries and it sits in my car for emergencies

All the bollox posted won't change that fact

So,

If I can get a cheap unlocked phone I can just put the SIM card in and it will remain on the 35p a month contract?

The SIM is inside a Credit Sized card ... if I break it out I won't be able to put it back together again ... so, I need to be sure!!

Isn't it a coincidence that today is exactly five weeks since pslewis's last post on this thread. Back in October last year you did a similar thing - you ran away and hid from ScoobyNet for five weeks because your couldn't face the truth that you are talking utter lies!.

I guess that we will never get proof of the existence of your MR30 phone, still working with the original batteries etc., as you will continue to obfuscate and invent other reasons why you needn't comply.

However, i ask one thing...

pslewis, will you admit in writing in this thread that you lied when you said

...because it is a matter of public record that Virgin Mobile did not start until November 1999!!!!!

You cannot talk, worm, mis-direct or otherwise get out of that fact.

You LIED!!! - plain and simple.

Admit it, or this thread will continue to haunt you forever!!!!

You are all welcome - It's my place to bring rays of light into your worlds

Some would have me removed forever

But, you wouldn't, would you??

As much as I hate to compare myself to the arch wind-up merchant, I also have a pretty old "pay as you go" phone which also sits in my car unless I happen to be at a function where someone might need to find me. I have had it for some years, cant even remember the make now, but it works perfectly and as I don't feel I have to have one about my person permanently, I don't feel the need to change it!

I can't help smiling when I see so many people walking around the town or in shops with their right hands up to their ears shouting into a phone as if their lives depended on instant comms at all hours of the day! What would an alien think if he was standing there watching us all?

Whats happening on the 17th August though?
