So O2 wouldn't let me upgrade to an iPhone - my contract had too long to run. My last upgrade, to a Sony Ericsson K850i was a disaster - so much so that I went back to my earlier Nokia 6250.
Anyways, Bill had just upgraded and kindly sold my his old non-3G iPhone. It was easy enough to pull the sim from my Nokia and, once I'd figured out how to eject the sim holder in the iPhone (requires a metal spike and a bit of jiggling), I stuffed it in and turned it on. Oh yeah,we did a 'factory reset' too - can you believe that took over an hour!
With my O2 Pay Monthly sim inserted, the iPhone worked fine. I'd read on the O2 website I needed a tariff upgrade - iPhone tariffs all have unlimited data - so it only took a few tense calls to O2 customer service to get an equivalent unlimited data tariff.
Minor glitch over the weekend - no Edge availability at all. Luckily Andy's a genius, and he thought of turning it off and then on again, and since then it's all been dandy.
It's clear how much of a big event the acquisition of an iPhone was in your life - enough to start you blogging again after 3 years of silence ;-)
ReplyDeleteAh yes - what a day that was! So young, sweet and innocent, completely unprepared for iPhone-dom. Ironically of course, blogging (at least with blogspot) seems impossibly hard with an iPhone.
