Today I went to get a mobile phone. I settled on the HTC Magic, because it had the features I really wanted (google maps, a touch screen, email, and a good web browser) for the lowest price (free with plan). I went to the shop by the office, and got approved for the credit (!!!!!). The lady thought it might have something to do with the fact that I already had a bank account (yessss) and that I work for Barclays. Anyway, the plan they offered me in the store was the same price as online ($30), but without free internet ($5) and with fewer texts! So I left. Sadly I couldn't sign up online because my previous address was out of the country, so I called them up. On the phone, they told me I had already been approved because of the credit check done in store (note to people who have credit, but not enough history online - you can get pre-approved in store!), and gave me 200 more minutes!! My original plan was going to have just 100 minutes, and then I would upgrade later, but now I have all the minutes I need! It will arrive on Friday.
Speaking of phones, if you would like to call me, you can skype me at any time. A cell phone company here has a pay as you go phone plan with unlimited skype to skype calls and skype calls to foreign phone lines (at skype rates) so I can make calls to the US for a mere $2.99 a month (they expect you to receive calls, which are paid for by the caller in this country, or to make domestic calls. They thought wrong!). For how to get in contact with me see the next post.
