mobile meltdown
Mobile phones-love them or hate them. I've had them since they were the size of two housebricks back in the 1980's.
They always seem to go off just as you reach the checkout at Tesco's or when you are on the top of a ladder or something.
My latest phone is a Nokia N82. Not exactly a sleek little number, but it does most things pretty well. Including switching itself onto answerphone mode for 2 days this week, all by itself. Then leaving no record of the fact on it's not very bright screen. No missed calls messages, no record of what it had been up to and no sign that it had been up to no good.
As a result I've lost several hundred pounds worth of work this week-ouch! I could have paid for a blackberry or apple i-phone contract for one year with that. It shows how important mobiles have become-no one tried the home phone because they all had the mobile number in their contacts. So I've sent out my business cards, this time with my home number on as well.
I've also switched the voicemail answerphone well and truly off.
Mobiles-I think I hate them!
