The tariff is correct. The o2 600 high-street tariff gives 600 mins, 500 texts and one bolt-on. The O2 600 online tariff gives 600 mins, 1000 texts and one bolt on, but as O2 don't sell the phone direct, that's a moot point.

The phone is yours to do with as you wish right now. You've been given the phone in exchange for taking the tariff.
[Touch HD General] razzyuk:
Thanks!

Cleared a few things up.

Now off to flash with a new ROM :-)
[Touch HD General] spooky69:
Can you get the phone and then port an old number from another network to the new sim at a later date or do you have to port the number when ordering? Think that makes sense now....

Free web bolt on ?

Hi all,

I'm on the o2 600 18 month contract, with 5 and a half months cashback deal through mobiles.co.uk.

When I got the handset, about 2 months ago, I was planning on changing the free bolt on to the unlimited web one, but when I phoned o2 CS they told me that the unlimited texts bolt on I had was unchangeable, and that this was a fixed package, exclusive to CPW, and the only way to get the web bolt on was to pay an extra £7.50 mth for it.

Does anyone know what I have to/can do to get this changed ?

Or is it only available on 24 mth contracts ?

Thanks, Dave.
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
Im on an 18m contract from mobiles.co.uk and when i called o2 i was told i couldn't change. I hung up an called straight back and the person that answered changed it no problem. Most people had to call a few times before getting through to someone who changed it.
[Touch HD General] spooky69:
Silly stuff. I have the answer to my previous question from elsewhere.
[Touch HD General] mike_dangerous:
I have two direct debits showing on my account. One for Carphone Warehouse and one for O2, do I need to cancel the carphone warehouse one to get rid of the support etc that I don't want.
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
The carphone warehouse DD is probably insurance. I cancelled mine through the carphone warehouse website. You also get a gadget support service, again i cancelled this through their website. I wish mobiles.co.uk would give the option of not taking these 2 services.
[Touch HD General] hesian:
Do you have the link to where on the CPW site we can cancel this stuff ?
[Touch HD General] spooky69:
I think the welcome/order confirmation email from mobiles.co.uk gives you telephone numbers to call in order to cancel both of those?
[Touch HD General] mike_dangerous:
How do you get an account on CPW? I tried to make one but the account number on my02 won't fit their box for entering it.
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
I used the contact us section of their site, Here. Select Insurance, Mobile Phone Insurance, Cancel my Insurance.
[Touch HD General] ferraridave:
Thank's trice1921, now I know this I'll keep trying till I get it. :D
[Touch HD General] Witchfinder:
I just got my "free" Touch HD from mobiles.co.uk with 500 minutes, unlimited texts, £10 cashback for £30 per month. I called O2 to ask if I could switch my unlimited texts for unlimited internet, but computer said "no" I'm a bit disappointed, but I guess I'll mostly use my Touch HD within reach of WiFi anyway.

Cheers,

Rob
[Touch HD General] spooky69:
Call again - they will do it, as stated many times in this thread.
[Touch HD General] Witchfinder:
Ha! Just called O2 customer service again, asked to switch my unlimited texts for unlimited internet, and they said "no problem, that'll be effective from tomorrow"

Result! Thanks for the advice in this thread to try again! If they won't switch for you, you should definately persist.

Incidentally, I don't know if it's bad form to post referal links on here or not - if it is, mods please remove it. If you go via topcashback.co.uk, you can get £40 cashback on contract phones from mobiles.co.uk - that's in addition to any cashback mobiles.co.uk are giving you:

[Touch HD General] ceanth:
Hi guys,

Apologies for bringing this thead back to life! I am looking at the Touch Dimond 2 from Mobiles.co.uk and it appears to be on the same contract as the HD was: 600mins and unlimited Text for £35 a month

People here have mentioned that you simply need to keep on calling o2 to change the unlimited Text over to unlimited data, has there been anybody who hasnt managed to get this changed over? Also IF O2 do not do this then could the handset and contract be terminated and returned back to Mobiles.co.uk?

Im assuming that I would need to actually use the SIM card to make the call to O2 to change this?

Also if this change has been made then will mobiles.co.uk still pay the cashback? Will they see that the contract has been changed and then not pay the cashback or get out of it?

Thanks, apologies if this is already answered somewhere on this thread.
[Touch HD General] Psy-Blade:
Hey ceanth,

I've just had a quick scan through this thread, but o2 wouldn't let me change my unlimited texts to unlimited internet either. I phoned up and they said that would be ok, the next day they told me they can't do it.

I now have unlimtied texts + unlimited internet. I might try calling again today seeing as a few people have said they do change it.
[Touch HD General] ceanth:
Hi mate,

I just phoned mobiles.co.uk and they said that O2 will no longer change people over to unlimited internet. They said that O2 DID in the past but now they wont because they have realised they are loosing out.

I guess they have caught on now :(
[Touch HD General] Psy-Blade:
Ah, I just called them again and got told that they can't do it.

Oh well I guess we were too slow.

edit: I called o2 directly.
[Touch HD General] fowler002:
keep calling :)

ceanth if you take the sim out of the envelope you can't return it, you don't need to use the sim to call o2.
[Touch HD General] digitalmetal:
For anyone who is interested,

I got my HTC Touch HD from mobiles.co.uk a few months back via the chat going on in this thread, switched my free texts bolt on to the free "unlimited" internet.

I got a text message today saying i had exceeded my internet quota under the fair usage policy.

I only use the web connection for retrieving emails and occasional surfing (no download of attachments of videos mp3's etc etc).

So i called up O2 and asked what i had used to go over the limit and what was the limit?

I had used 238 Mb and the limit was 200Mb.

i was told tru unlimeted only comes with the iphone and blackberry tarriffs.

So my advice, avoid O2 and go with T-Mobile if you want to use the web.

Anyone else have the same scenario?

Im just gutted im stuck in a 18 month contract :(

DigitalMetal
[Touch HD General] RobTsintas:
This is a shocking development. (Well, the second such devt after O2 stopping switching unlm txt to web, but I'll come back to that).

Could this really be true? The only thing I've seen in the T&Cs is that they don't want you to use voip or streaming services. 200MB (not bits, surely!) is, frankly, a p**s-take!

I was just about to order a HD - just waiting for mobiles.co.uk to get fresh stock. But the prospect of being forced to add the unlimited web bolt-on out of my own pocket, plus the idea of it being so restricted is turning me off the idea faster than.... a... very quick thing.

1. Further clarification needed by current 'unlimited' web users

2. Any more experiences by recent attempted text-to-web switchers greatly received

3. Why the f is the iPhone so special anyway?

Why I oughta...
[Touch HD General] Neelesh_live:
hi guuys am new here.. just ordered my htc hd from mobiles2yourdoor.co.uk

orange with 400 mins 300 txt + unlimited landline. free phone. for £30 / month

i was already on orange but they wouldnt let me upgrade as they didnt have the phone free on anything less than £45 / month... had to cancel my existing contract and take another one...
[Touch HD General] hesian:
I've had a good read of O2's T&Cs as posted on their site here

There is no mention of a 200Mb cap, which was old news. It was taken off for iphone back in 2007 and then eventually for all mobiles.

Were O2 able to point you to these conditions written down somewhere ?
[Touch HD General] gavink85:
Hi there

I have recently got a Blackberry from mobiles.co.uk

from the link at the top of this

http://www.phones.co.uk/show.asp?hs...ts=3000&lr=&contract=&gift=&cashback=&sortby=

which clearly states the following:

BlackBerry Curve 8900 on O2 - FREE!

O2 Unlimited Blackberry 600 (18 Months)

With 600 mins & Unlimited texts per month

Your monthly line rental will be £17.50 per month after redemption

Now since using the sim I have received the contract from o2 which states only 500 texts. So i have contacted mobiles.co.uk and they say I ordered it with 500 texts and have unlimited internet which from the above I obviously didnt.

I basically really need unlimited texts whats my best route of action?

Could I moan about being mislead into purchase and send my phone back?

or perhaps pay extra and get unlimited texts or something?
[Touch HD General] paul@rogerspictures.com:
Got a diamond 2 on 18 month contract on O2, 600 min, unlimited text for £35 a month.

First 2 attempts to swap the bolt on failed - but success on the 3rd attempt. Don't know if this was because I gave them my PAC to port from Vodafone at the same time. They said it will take affect from the next billing date, so fingers crossed.
[Touch HD General] Lewb:
would you recomend ordering off mobiles.co.uk or direct from o2 for £10 a month more? as ive heard a lot of bad reviews from mobiles.co.uk thanks.
[Touch HD General] widu13:
It's a judgement call against the risk. Would I buy from them again? For a £10 per month saving- yes, for same price tariffs- not a chance.
[Touch HD General] lancsuk:
ive just got my htc touch hd of them no problems at all whatsoever
[Touch HD General] slixter:
Also bought my HD from Mobiles.co.uk. Ordered and delivered next day - no problems so far, but probably shouldn't speak too soon. Contract details from o2 looks to be as expected. Paid £169 at £15 a month. Pretty good deal compared to the £169 at £35 a month I paid for my iphone
[Touch HD General] Psy-Blade:
Well I bought my Touch HD off them about a month ago. The very next day I reffered my cousin to them as the service I recieved was good.

I phone them up two days later to check the referral had been registered (£50 cashback) and they say its all fine, will be in the post within a few weeks)

Nothing comes through so I phoned again two days ago, apparently there was no referrals active on my account so there is no way I will get my £50 cashback, and that I never phoned and spoek to anyone about it because it isn't logged... This shocked me for two reasons, 1: I definitelly referred my cousin, witht he registration form confirming so and 2: They had already told me that t had gone through! Either they're wrong now or they lied to me in the first place.

I've sent an email through asking them to explain the situation, did they lie to me or did the **** something up now? Buit I've had no reply so far.

If anyone has any ideas on where to go/what to do next it'd be appreciated.

Anyone ever get the free Bluetooth headset they offered ?
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
Do you mean the one for entering the offer code when ordering? I got mine when i ordered my Touch HD in February.
[Touch HD General] benshikari:
I searched the internet for a promotional code for the mobiles.co.uk website, and found one for a free bluetooth headset. The code was supposedly expired.. but I can assure you it wasn't :D

O2 are either lying, or still have the power to do so, even if they say they won't from now on.

I phoned up to have my Unlimited Internet put on as a bolt-on ON TOP of my Unlimited Texts, and somehow they changed my Unlimited Texts for the Internet, even though I hadn't asked them to.

I then received a bill for £84.83, which they agreed they made the error, and refunded the text messages I had gone over, as well as give me the Bolt-On for free.

canadian inquiry

does anyone have any information on ordering phones from canada? i discovered mobiles.co.uk through craigslist and ive had some correspondence through email with someone there telling me they will ship me a contract free unlocked iphone 3gs 32gb for 300$ canadian, free shipping, next day delivery. i'm assuming this would be contract free? everyone here has been talking about contracts with 02 and vodafone, but obviously thats not good for me as im in canada and the site does not list prices for buying the phone outright. does this seem shady to anyone else? 300$ is literally more than half the retail price here in canada so im quite interested. any advice would be appreciated.
[Touch HD General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
It's a scam, it's entirely unrelated to us and you should never, ever do business with someone who wants Western Union payment, doesn't have an email address at the company they supposedly work for, etc etc.

Run away.

Run!
[Touch HD General] roheelshah:
if it sounds too good, it probably is! ... u may aswell pay 600$ for a handset in canada, then give 300$ to some scammer somewhere!
[Touch HD General] skaughtm:
unfortunately craigslist appears to be littered with iphone ads posted by people claiming to be from mobiles.co.uk. ive had two separate people claiming to be form your shop contact me now asking for western union payments. shame. thanks for the heads up.

Update txt-web changeover

Just thought I'd post an update on the switch from unlimited txt's to unlimited web bolt on, I started my contract with mobiles.co.uk back in Feburary, contacted o2 to try and changeover & no joy, then I read this thread, and tried a few more times, and, eventually, was told that I could not change it for 9 months, so after the 9th month phoned them back and got it changed over on the second attempt.

Was all good until the 21st of December when I got a txt from o2 saying that I had exceeded my data allowance by 68pence, so I called them thinking how can I exceed my allowance on the 21st of any month, when my billing date is the 19th, and I'd hardly used any data ?

They told me that someone had switched on the free web bolt on, and then a second person had tried to switch it on but actually turned it back off instead, and could see from their call records that is wasn't at my request, so have switched it back on with effect from tomorrow.

The guy also told me that, a) If you take out a contract with CPW or Phones4U then the tarrif you start with is for the duration of the contract and unchangeable, and, b) any queries relating to tarrif changes should be made to CPW and not direct to o2, o2 apparently no longer deals with these requests, after which he proceeded to change it back to unlimited web, crazy.

So I will now have to keep checking my account online to make sure I'm not being charged for data, because I can see this happening again.

I think the moral of the story is though, always go direct to the network, I had done for the past 6 years (with o2), and had never had any problems at all with them.

Hi.

My partner tried to get a 3rd mobile from three. She got declined because of their security checks..?. Dunno what she could have failed on as she is an accountant living at the same address for the past seven years..lol.

Was charging the phone when I went to sleep. Woke up to the Boot Logo, the one with "HUAWEI Powered by Android". Tried to restart it by pressing the power button for a while, doesn't work. Immediately went back to this screen. Tried:

power+volume down, doesn't work.

power+volume down while connected to computer, opened fastboot&recovery. HiSuite says my phone isn't supported.

power+volume up while connected to computer, doesn't work.

draining the power. When I charged it, the charging symbol appeared (lightning inside a circle, coloured red) for a bit, then the Boot Logo appeared again and stays on for quite a while, even when I immediately disconnected the cable.

I found a similar thread, but without enough data to tell it's the same problem, and it's been 2 years ( https://xdaforums.com/t/p20-lite-stuck-on-startup-screen.3946110/ )

I just want to know if there's another way to enter the eRecovery mode, since I need the data and my last backup was on the 1st of April. Even better if I can boot into the phone, but I'm not holding my breath. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey!

In the company that I work an ex-collaborator left the Samsung Galaxy A20e he was using professionally. During the time he used it, he probably activated FRP, now we want to unlock the phone to give to another collaborator. I've tried to do factory reset at first when I didn't know about FRP.

Now I'm seeing some tutorials that says that we can remove the FRP lock, but I need USB debugging and I can't access the system to activate it.

Is there something I can do?

If pagepool is 6mb, available ram is 108mb, not 92mb :eek:

Can you add original Large Menu from original 6.0 nike rom? It gives very smooth scrolling in Programms/settings menu.

I think the Final ROM could be released until Saturday! I'm waiting for further responses from the Beta testers but I think there's not so much to do! :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Beta report:

Fast ROM. Clean interface.

Minor bugs:

1) Setting>Buttons - Only 2 buttons (Button 1 for camera and Button 3 for record). Button 2 missing

2) Setting>Phone>Band/Pin/Zeitzonen/Weiter - in German.

3) Setting>About>Info - In German

4) Setting>Comm Manager - Airplane mode missing. Intentional?

5) Warnings on soft reset in German.

6) Settings >Microphone AGC in German.

7) Long keypress for autolock options no longer available and not functioning.

Given its origins, the German text was not unexpected.

Overall performance good.

First program installed Igo2006 works as HTC home not loaded. As expected, once Manila 2D installed, iGo2006 fails again.

Manila 2D v20 installed and working well.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] twolf:
Yup, very fast indeed.

Does this rom has the 3d drivers? Some of the apps I use that dont work with the 3d drivers arent working now... :(

Also noticed the german words on the phone settings and shutdown.

And both cameras arent working*, they just appear all black and the program isnt very responsive too, its even hard to exit...

* on my current radio 1.64.08.21, will try it now with Radio 1.65.29.22.
