got a new mobile phone. this should be cause for rejoice. but problems upgrading my existing package to this new one i'm on left me 30mins late for work, and without the phone. left the guy in the shop to sort it. he did, and i got the new phone on my lunch break. now. home and with phone charged up, need to activate new sim card, because old one is too fat. only it doesn't activate. called the helpdesk after numerous attempts to get it done. "help"desk is something of an optimistic and inaccurate term. am waiting for callback from a manager. that will never fucking happen. gonna take 5 and chill out then call back.

[craggy]

edit: called back. told it is in progress as of 5pm today. pretty sure i didn't txt them to get it activated until after then. moaned a bit. spoke to supervisor. told he is escalating it, and blah blah blah it be working by 5 tomorrow. if not...it be back in the shop by saturday.

Phone not working - call help desk?

Here's a joke to make it more interesting:


Three pieces of string walk into a bar. They sit at a table and one of them goes up to get some drinks. "We don't serve pieces of string here," says the barman.

The string goes back to the table, and one of his mates goes up to the bar to ask for drinks. "Look, I told the other one, we don't serve pieces of sting here," says the barman. The piece of string goes back to report this fact.

Then the third piece of string ties himself in the middle and pulls at himself so his ends are all tatty. Then he goes up to the bar.

"Aren't you another one of those bloody pieces of sting?" asks the barman. And the string replies,

"No... I'm a frayed knot."

I may yet resort to that.

[Arjan Dirkse]

Got really pissed in the supermarket when the stupid machine didn't accept my bank pass when I wanted to pay..This supermarket is the only store where I've ever had that problem, and I told them about it a dozen times...

I told the cashier that I would try three more times but if the machine still didn't accept my bank pass after those three attempts, I would have to take the groceries without paying, which didn't exactly elicit a friendly response from her. I got branded a thief, I got angrier, and left the store without groceries. Thank God there is another supermarket next door, which I'll be visiting more often for the time being.

Get a new card! Some machines are more sensitive than others, and if the chip is a little worn it won't register. It wasn't the poor checkout girl's fault!

[Arjan Dirkse]

Nope, that isn't it. It's definitely a problem with their machine. I got a new card at the end of last year, didn't make any difference; the problem was the same as it used to be with my old card.

[craggy]

so, my SIM card that was to be delivered next day delivery, by courier, and be here between 7am and 9pm on saturday is out for delivery today (monday)

only today I had to go to work. email I got from phone people says, go on this website to track it, or call delivery people for more help. called delivery people first thing, got told they couldn't arrange with me for it to be delivered to a different address, the sender needs to do that.
by this time i am at work, and can't call them. i don't have my own phone to call them on because they switched my old SIM off. so I sent an email. generic response shortly after and nothing since.tracking says parcel still with courier.

not impressed.
