Phone insurance
I've lost a couple of mobiles, and as they were on a contract I had insured them and in both cases the insurance company came good and gave me a new one. I had to fill in a form, naturally, and one of the questions was "Was the phone lost or stolen?" I dutifully ticked "lost" and went on to question 7, as instructed. Question 7 was something like "Where was the phone lost?" Well, if I knew that...

Hardly a disaster, I know, but thought I'd share it anyway.

I
have a similar thing with BT at the moment. I've just moved house and my phone keeps getting disconnected by BT as I have not paid the bill.

The bill, which incidently, has never been sent to me. I have no idea where to pay or how much to pay.

I phoned them up, and the woman refused to set up on-line billing (as they obviously cannot seem to do the simple thing and send me a bill in the post) as I don't know my 'customer number' (like a phone number shouldn't be the same thing??!).

Me: "I don't know my customer number."
Her: "It's on the top left side of your bill."
ME:"I.AM.NOT.RECIEVING.ANY.BILLS.FROM.YOU!"
Her:"Then I cannot setup the on-line billing service."

Sigh....I've had no phone for over a fortnight now, despite their promise that service would be resumed in 24 hours and that a bill would be in the post.

Bah!
