I need to vent!

Blame Chelsea.

Maybe it's like in school football where kids sometimes decide to "house rule" no off side. Of course I'm talking about casual games kids play on the oval during lunch time.

WERE YOU ABSENT THE DAY THEY TAUGHT THE OFFSIDE RULE AT REFEREE SCHOOL YOU F*$&ING IDIOT?

Oh please, its not like Man U scored their goal through great officiating either now is it?

Im on a plan - is it still possible to get the same number??) back plus all the number Ive stored in there. What a lonely Easter this is

I feel for you mate, it's happened to me before too... losing a phone sucks big time!

Yes you can still obtain the same number, they re-issue a new sim card and re-assign your number to it.

Sadly the numbers you had stored are all long gone though (unless you backed up your phone contacts onto your PC or something)

I just accidentally left my celphone in the train. Sure enough when I got home I called it and well what do you expect, someone's tyurned it off already and prolly threw my sim card coz my answering inbox is all im getting. I even left in the display face of the cel my home number in case somebody does find it to CALL but I guess there's very little good samaritans these days. Now Ill have to go thru the trouble of buying another celphone and having to get back that number ( Im on a plan - is it still possible to get the same number??) back plus all the number Ive stored in there. What a lonely Easter this is

Sorry to hear that. That sucks.

Let me know when you get a new mobile and I will sms you my ph number again. I don't see why you wouldn't get the same mobile number when they cancel your current SIM (which you should do ASAP).

Yeah, just get another SIM card and your provider will do a SIM replacement for you. You keep the same number.

plus all the number Ive stored in there.

If you are with Optus and have a 3G SIM card, it auotmatically has a function called SIM Backup which backs-up your contacts to the optuszoo website.

Oh sweet! thaks for the info, Ill just have to be patient coz theyre all closed til tomorrow. But Ive contacted they're tech desk and theyve blocked the unit and sim for now just to be sure I dont get a $600 phone bill next bill period

kup et al: Ill Pm you guys once I get my new sim so I can get all your mobile back in record, but if 5FDP said applies to my old sim hopefully its still all there....Optus im keeping my fingers crossed

I don't think a new sim with the same mobile number will have all your contacts. I think that's lost.

I do need more than a new sim though, a whole new unit ( perhaps a more upgraded one) as well. Hopefully I can ask if I can convert my plan to one which includes a "0" upfront unit, as I went to their plan ( from prepaid) with my own unit and old Optus prepaid sim (converted). Getting the old numbers back will be a pain in the a$# but so long as there's other avenues to contact the people (email, PMs , in person) Im not too worried. Thanks for all your concern and replies guys... wasnt able to sleep last night coz i was quite upset of my carelessness. That phone lasted me 4 years , sigh....

I am with Virgin and only pay $30 a month for both voice and data services.

I originally had a GPS phone which was $0 with a 1 year plan for $30. After the 2 years they upgraded my phone for free to an internet enabled touch screen smart phone (GPS also included) for the same rate with data services added. The catch is only that I need to stay with them for 1 more year which I intended to do anyway. It's turned out amazingly well and now I have mobile internet all the time which helps me manage my accounts, check my email and even enter msn chat on the go.

Well Ive been with them on the old unit for 2 years prepaid (4 years ago), then accepted converting to a plan 12months on a $60 a month which went down to $49 a month (its BYO - since i owned a unit and converted the sim) up to about a month ago then they offerred me to go for the $19 which is better,cheaper and tailored for me ( for 1 year contract) - since I use more my cel texting back overseas than using it here, then this happens, aaaaargh, ah well Ill have to try my luck if they can help me. I have no problem sticking with them beyond the contract year - heck ive been with them even when it was costing me much, I just hope they can do help me get a free better phone unit and sim replacement so Id have to spend less. I simply didnt budget for this

I used to be very Cellphone savvy back in Phil, prolly coz its always IN to have the latest ( and there were heaps new models coming in all the time), but here the interest isnt that strong, Im more now, if it can call and text Im happy, if it has added features like cameras, internet MMS etc, its good but I rarely use it anyways ( except prolly for the camera) so I have not much idea now what models are better and wotnot, Ill prolly have to rely on what's available on the free phone list hehehe hopefully there's a NOkia there somehow - Im more used to the keypad set-up friendliness.
