    Cabbles Snr - not that I got my name from him, has a pay as you go phone from a by gone year.

    I once forgot that it doesn't take picture messages and accidentally sent him a picture message via text that i sent to a few others who have smart phones. It completely jammed his phone and it couldn't access his text messages from then on in

    I was in stitches

    what was your first mobile phone?

    I had a baby ericsson. It was 99 I think. Quite a nifty little design but I remember buying credit for it (I was at 6th form at the time) £10, I swear it was gone in one phone call

    The Panasonic range. Started with a GD10 and moved up over the years until my phone was smaller than my little Jimmy. Putting the SIM card in was almost impossible!

    And quite painful.

    Yes - the old clip on covers. I had some red and black Chinese dragon one when I got onto Nokia. I thought it was the dog's bollocks

    10p a text - always checking that balance

    Then they increased it to 12p a text and you got less texts for your £10 top up.

    Or you made a phone call and ended up with £x.99 left, so you were always 1p off sending one last text.

    And emojis didn't exist so you had to be very careful how you worded a text to a bird

    I remember when I first encountered the word 'lol' over a text. Thought it meant lots of love, so I'd put randoms lols at the end of sentences to some girl. Didn't end well.

    Remember walking into the Princess of Wales, aged about 23 with my first work mobile phone. I felt the dogs bollocks....

    That's a satellite phone is it not? I had occasional use of one of those when in areas with poor regular mobile coverage! Weighed a ton. My regular jobbie was a Motorola DynaTAC brick. This was a phone provided by work, I could never have afforded one myself. I think it cost around £2.5k back then and you needed to lump around a spare battery because talk time was so limited.
    I thought I was well smart; everyone else thought I was a twat.
  • Jessie, what about the one plus 5? Isnt that an Iphone equivalent?

    At roughly £250 a go, I doubt it.

    So.......has anyone gone for it this morning?
  • Despite not, really, wanting a new phone I ordered one as I think it makes financial sense to upgrade now before my current phone loses all of it’s second hand value.

    From starting at 8am they still seem to be able to deliver them in six weeks which suggests that they aren’t in as much short supply as was rumoured. Probably a load rubbish so boost sales.

    6 weeks?!? To be honest that is still quite some delay.

    Was this directly from Apple or via upgrade?

    I walked into Carphone Warehouse and pre-ordered one for next week. Funny how much fuss there is about getting one, and it took me less than ten minutes to sort and apparently I will definitely get it next Friday...

    I was told the same for my Vodafone upgrade.....I hope this is the case.
