On the Road Again!

After call after call waiting in queue after queue to speak to a human call centre person my billing problem is finally sorted. By logging on to Facebook. Amazing.

As I may have mentioned in one of the entries about our weekend in Amsterdam, the Quest, dear old Doris, had a complete and utter failure. It wasn't my weekend for gadgets! Firstly, I found that after all the hassle I'd had on the Isle of Man when Vodafone hadn't done as instructed and taken the international bar off my phone, and the subsequent emails and phone calls that supposedly had it sorted; it was Novodafone weekend again. Apparently, some dickhead at Vodafone had put the bar back on. Who said to do it will never be known. Life's like that! Secondly, Doris went tits-up and couldn't find any of the satellites that are in geo-stationery orbit around the globe to help travellers navigate their way on land, sea and air! As we had planned a quick and dirty autobahn route to Amsterdam it wasn't too much of a problem. Doris dithering "acquiring satellites" for 200 plus miles was getting to me. Luckily again, I had printed out a route from Via Michelin...

The Blackberry service seems to work okay. Sadly, it is quite addictive. Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

Well, despite telling them that I wanted to be able to use the Blackberry phone outside UK, the reason why all my Blog emails were saved up rather than being up to date, was because I am barred from international usage. What part of "I need to use it abroad as well" wasn't understood? I was unable to get through on the phone and so hunted about on their website to get a form to send and email. They has come back to say that I had the international bar set on. Why? Hopefully it will all be resolved today! Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
