I need a mobile phone NOW.

[Grip]

This has just not been my week... and to top it off my mobile fell out of my pocket in the city (Melb) this morning. Was hoping some nice person would answer it when I called later and tell me how to get it back off them, but nope... it's gone and probably sold in some pub already. FAAARRRRRRRRK!

So... if anyone has an 8310 they want to sell (needs to be that one to match my car kit - FAAAARRRRRRRRRRK!) or anything else of reasonable quality (small phone but with a big screen and bright white light for my old eyes please) then some cash is waiting for you.

Call me on 0438 31....... FAAAARRRRRRRK! Better yet phone (03) 94371954 or email on mail@gripsport.com.au Same contact details if you see some FAAAARRRRRRRK trying to use (I've blocked it) or sell my very little phone with the clear vinyl cover around Birrarung Marr (Flinders Street)

Not really expecting any help... just pissed and needing to whinge.

i know the feeling, i came home this morning minus my mobile - and i know i have no chance of getting it returned.
The bit that sux is all my numbers etc.... have now gone

[Grip]

We shall cry together...

I got rid of my spare phone last week... Sorry dude.

i have a motorolla v8088+ just lying around. i am too lazy to take it to the shop to sell it. its not a nokia but its small and i've never had a problem with it. but if i was you i'd probably try and get another 8310, just to save hassle with the car kit!

pm me if ur interested!

Get one off ebay, can pick up an 8310 for about $200 i'd say

[rad rob]

and if your lucky, it might be your old phone :P

[LordNikon]

I had a Motorola V8088+ for a while... good phone.

The message functionality is a bit strange but as an actual phone it was the bomb.

when i lost my gay motorallo or wateva its called the only thing i was pissed off about was the sim card.........
you could just get a pre-paid phone put the replacement sim card in it......... :roll:

[bazza]

mmmm i thought i had lost mine last night, when really some girls took it to put there numbers in, i was freakin out big time! so now i write out all the numbers from my phone just to be on the safe side!

i lost my brand new 3 fone at the snow...n got it back some KIND person handed it in to the perisher centre...thank god for honest people..:) so now if i ever find a mob im goin to hand it in not sell it :)

[fastrider gus]

i broke all my old phones...

"yea man these phones are the shit. look they dont break!" *BANG* "oh shit.. it broke.."

[dylma]

m8, sounds like you need a nokia 5100. colour screen, polyphonics, inteernet, mms, and it is shock, dust and water resistant. ive got one and they kick. but the trick is to buy it from dick smith, why??? because they are 450 bucks compared to the nokia store's $700.

I have broken/lost a...
Nokia 5110 (B)
Nokia 3210 (L)
Nokia 3310 (L)
Nokia 3330 (B)
Nokia 3315 (B/L)
And i am now i am using a Motorolla C350 light compact and very good it fits in a little pocket great.

But back to the subject of Grip phone its a bitch huh? *hugs* :D

[CHEWY]

damn yuppies

[ona rampage]

I mangled a Nokia 8210....the second spin cycle in the washing machine was the trick.
Nothing like pulling your shorts out of the machine and having bits of phone fall out of them... ;-(

i recon you should go onto a plan... i got a 6610 for $0 and $30 a month...they dont really have a big screen but they are bright and the numbers and symbols are all oversized so you would be able to read them...colour phone,polyphonic ringtones,mms and cool games make it a sick phone

p.s. with the $30 a month you get $30 of credit then you pay extra for whatever you use

[Grip]

Guys... really appreciate all the suggestions. Thanks. I use the phone for work so much I've always been on around $100 plan anyway but never contracted cause I owned the phone outright.

When I talked to Telstra shop and they checked my records they nearly tripped over their own dangly bits with offers!

Ended up on a $70 plan that actually gives me cheaper calls then I was getting anyway... a free 6100 ... and a free X-box that I immediately swapped for a genuine Nokia in-car kit!

All problems solved and money saved! Thank you to the turd who stole my phone!!!!!!!

By the way, did you know that if your phone is pinched you can have the actual handset locked so NO sim card will work in it at all?

[fastrider gus]

you swapped an Xbox??? :cry:

[Konaman]

2_fast_4_u do you get any warning as to how much of the 30 bucks you have left or at least when it runs out?

nope you dont you just gotta guestimate i think with my plan anyway

wow... it seemed liked it worked out !!

i guess getting a free phone and car kits pretty cool aswell as CHEAPER calls too :shock:

nice stuff....

[wombat]

You should be able to ring you provider and check what your current call cost total is, I know you can with vodafone.

[Jordy]

2_fast_4_u do you get any warning as to how much of the 30 bucks you have left or at least when it runs out?

no... im saying you need to pay $30 each month and you get 30 of credit that you dont need to pay extra for...then you can spend more and it goes ontop of the 30 on your bill....if you dont use $30 of calls it goes over into the next month

[Konaman]

I undertand what your saying man, its just i think i would spend like 50 bucks because i couldnt find out how much money id already spent then get pissed off cause i have to pay an extra 20 bucks.
