You could all move into this century and get yourself a blackberry
Mike did I see a feather quill in that photo ?? :
TOP TIP - For £20 per month, with no hidden extras get blackberry push e mail service & unlimited blackberry data (full internet browsing)with no contract, just set up a monthly direct debit, this can be canceled at any time.
1 - Buy a blackberry curve 8310 one thats locked to 02, ( got mine on e-bay, best to look for one that's been recieved via an 02 works contract phone, mine was brand new ) don't risk buying one that says unlocked to any network it might not work, should have the 02 badge on front, bottom part of phone.
2 - Get a £20 per month 02 simplicity sim, this includes 600 minutes and 1200 texts ( you can always have your existing mobile number switched over )
3 - Heres the important bit !! - ask for the " Blackberry data" bolt on (this is not advertised or listed as a bolt on so you can't apply online as its not in the drop down menu. Be persistant, it seems not many 02 staff acknowledge it's existence, I rang several times only to be told I needed to pay another £10 or so per month for the blackberry option, in the end I went into an 02 shop and got someone who knew about it, they made a quick call and within 48 hours the blackberry data bolt on was up and running.
I've had mine since December and it works fine, you can add several e-mail addresses for the push e-mail service at no extra charge.
* For anyone who doesn't know what push e-mail means - A copy of your e-mail is sent straight to your mobile, instantly - just like recieving a text and you can reply to the e-mail with your blackberry mobile.
Hope this is of some use to you old duffers !!
