hi.
I have a nokia 3310, i've had it for abbout 13 months aproximately. its now started to act like the biggest pile of poo i have ever had the misfortune to come across!
when I get a all, the battery goes flat. even if its on charge at the time. when I send a text message, especially on a thursday, it refuses to send unless I switch it of and back on again.
I am supposed to be getting a talking phone, which I was promised 6 months ago. i am feeling very put upon as should not have to still put up with my phones mood swings! please tell me if this is unreasonable!

If a temperamental phone is all you have to worry about then aren't you the lucky 1.

theres 2 websites you can use that I know of. one is www.02.co.uk and they give you 10 free text messages and the replies go to your phone. then theres www.bt.yahoo.com but I have my email acount with bt yahoo, so that's how i subscribed. also, you have to pay, if you want to send more than 2 text messages.

Phil, I've actually sampled both talks and mobile speak now, and they're both equallly good. Not sure which i prefer yet. lol but get yourself a decent cokmpatable phone, and you can at least use a demo until your uncle buys the software.

If this is such an enormous problem, call NBC's Ask Asa, he can transfer you to the offices of Judge Judith Scheindlin. You can take this up with her.
