After all you could "receive a free battery worth up to £82"
Try claiming £82 for a battery and they will soon tell you where to
go................

That's £70pa. You can buy a replacement mobile for a lot less than that.
SIMs are fairly robust, I have a 121 SIM that survived over three weeks
underwater.
smstextaddict.co.uk smstextaddict co uk (remove _fishyknickers_ to reply)
try cusc.co.uk instead much better and much cheaper.

My phone was dropped down the toilet... after three days of drying out it
worked, then the same day I dropped it trying to run across a bog on a welsh
mountain, and it fell in the bog. We couldn't find it (tried calling but it
was on silent)... the next day we went up and found it! Another few days
drying out and it was fine again.
Who needs insurance when a radiator does the trick? :)

That's not true anymore. They changed everything recently....
I got a letter from them and saw it was an Orange Insurance renewal letter,
so I chucked it to one side as I didn't want to renew the insurance (what
with my phone being 2 years old and all). When I next looked at a bill, I
noticed I was being charged for insurance (despite me not renewing it), what
was wose is that it was £5 for insurance instead of the usual £3. When I
looked at the letter again, I noticed the following problems...
1.) Orange now automatically renew your insurance even if you don't reply to
their letter.
2.) Orange insurance is now £5 in all cases (even if you peviously qualified
for £3 insurance)
3.) Orange insurance now has an excess of £15
It pissed me off, I can tell you! Orange seem to think that I'd prefer to
pay £5 a month for the privilege of having to pay £15 if my phone got
stolen! It's a farce, I could renew my contract and get an upgrade for free
if anything ever happened to my phone!

I've never bothered with phone insurance. £60 a year for O care, plus
£15 if you need to claim. Unless you regularly lose phones or have
something _very_ expensive it is cheaper to just pay for a new one than
have the insurance company bleeding you every month. Once you end up
having several phones on the go at once that adds up to a significant
sum every month.
Insurance is worthwhile only for the losses you can't afford to cover
yourself (e.g. car and house insurance). Insurance/warranties on
consumer goods are almost always a waste of time unless you are
terminally clumsy and/or forgetful.

Nice one!
I took my son's phone into cpw for repair. They opened it and said look
there's all these salts on the pcb - must have got wet. Buy a new one.
I asked them to show me the pcb, and rubbed the salts off with my
handkerchief. They put it back together and it worked perfectly. Now, why
couldn't they do that?
