Well pslewis came back two days early. Maybe he is feeling guilty?

If we are lucky, he will eventually admit that he is a liar!!!

If he doesn't - he will continue to be haunted

They get all excited and start telling me about their £19:99 a month packages .... I interupt and say that I only pay about 35p a month now .... do they hear what I've said??

NO!! They just continue on - and on - and on ..... they actually fail to see that I would be worse off with them!!!

Even with such overwhelming odds they continue to try and get me to upgrade!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

Braindead .............

So, anyone any older phone in regular use - I bet there isn't, you lot are gadget freaks!!

Pete, do they tend to go anything like this?

Sadly it looks like pslewis still won't admit that he is a liar

Selective amnesia can be a terrible thing

I will repeat:-

1. I have an old Motorola 'brick' phone which still works off its own batteries.

2. It is on Contract, on the Orange match of the Virgin Tariff.

3. Average monthly bill is 35p and I receive a bill each and every month.

4. I only pay the bill when it reaches £1+ (about 3 months)

Thats about all there is to it - believe it or not, I ain't worried

...notice the subtle way that pslewis is trying to change his story, and will soon be suggesting that he bought the phone in 1996, kept it for three or more years, threatened to cancel his contract, and then miraculously decided to take up the "Virgin match tariff" sometime after November 1999, when Virgin Mobile first started!!!

However...

What proof is it that you are after again? I have seen the phone and seen it working in his car. I have even received texts from it. I do not know what contract he is on but the phone DOES exist and DOES work and IS in his car.

Hmmm - I'm now using a four year old phone and for 95% of the time, it actually works BETTER than my much newer mobile.

Battery life much longer.
Easier to make calls/text
Seems to get much better reception
Smaller

Yes it only has a poor camera and GPRS not 3G but overall, it's actually better!

"Small, neat, lightweight phone for the Orange Network!" seems laughable today

Google Image Result for http://www.mobiles.co.uk/images/mr30.gif

What's it worth to retro collectors - any idea?

I actually have two - but one is not connected.
