ICE ICE BABY

I’ve recevied this by email a few times already over the weekend.
“East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national “In case of Emergency ( ICE ) ” campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone’s annual life savers award.

The idea is that you store the word ” I C E ” in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted “In Case of Emergency”.

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.”

So here is a link to their campaign…

Brands gone bad

Orange are brilliant. Well I used to think so anyway. So much so that I have recommended them to all of my friends and at least 5 of them have switched.
Their customer service is great. Up until last week.
I used to have a price plan that included orangecare insurance. Somehow or other over the years I no longer have this. I naturally had no idea having never needed to claim on my incsurance.
Last week My Nokia 7610 stopped working properly. It no longer reads any media card and the phone crashes when I get text messages whilst it tries to save things. I called Orange and they said no problem they would get a replacement out next day – the usual fantastic service. Until they called back to say that they couldn’t as I had no insurance. I’d have to send it back to Nokia or pay £30.

Okay so I’ve used Nokia phones now for over 10 years. Never a problem until this phone. I send it back for repair and start using my old Nokia 6100. I was impressed to receive the phone back in 3 working days despite them saying it could take up to 14. Sadly when I got it home the problem is still there. So not fixed after all then.

So I’m now feeling a little let down by two of my most trusted brands.
In July my contract is up and I think it’s about time I tried a motorola phone and Vodafone.

24 CTU ringtone

Geeky I know but the ring tone for the phones at CTU is quite unique. mitbiz.de has it posted in Nokia composer format – I just need someone to send it on to my phone now since I don’t have composer 😉

Credit Card Fraud

Is anyone else concerned that credit card companies have simply kept quiet about millions of card numbers being hacked

Sweet as Nectar?

See I always said that I’d prefer one loyalty card for all shops. Unfortunately that defeats the object of a loyalty card! Vodafone meanwhile has jumped on the Nectar band waggon. Which I guess means Orange won’t 😉
