When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.
Checked my email to see if the phone was in the store.. credit check failed. I think its because the contact was over 40 quid..

This is pretty shitty :(

Haven't posted in this thread for a while cause i can't fit a dave head into my avatar.

Anyway, CHEEZMO if you're looking at the Lumia 800 but are finding it too expensive, try looking for an LG Optimus7, it's another windows phone and the specs are almost the exact same and you can get one for around 150 pound sim free.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Does UK-GAF play any musical instruments?
Not at the moment. In the past I played recorder, piano and did singing. Probably should pick up something again. Basically got tired of playing the same song over and over when the song itself never interested me to begin with.

I don't think Dave will appreciate being called a Hunt.

Dude, I'm a complete and utter Hunt. I've made my peace with that fact.

My avatar is freaking me out every time I post. Reckon I'll redo it and put a little Hunt in the corner instead.

Shut yer face, stop trying to frame me Kent.

Stop breaking the rules then man, You will bring the entire thread down! There will be account suicides left right and centre.

I don't find it fair that i changed my ways and you guys still act like this is the wild fucking west.

Next you guys will be speeding/jay walking/not paying tv licence.

Congrats Kent, I'm happy for you!

When I get near my Internet limit I get a text from O2 warning me, then another one when I reach the limit. After that the Internet just gets super slow until my month starts again, I don't get billed any extra but I can choose to pay extra to top up my data if I want to.

No-one knows we exist. There has been a whole influx of jnrs and only like one got lost and stumbled in here. We're bad at advertising ourselves, we need a marketing department.

Reading about Kent's ordeal makes me loath to post this lol. Wandered into my t-mobile shop today since my contract was up. Left with 1000 extra minutes and a galaxy s3. For £5 a month cheaper than my old contract .

Just relaxing at home and I get this message from Emily;

"Gareth, today I caught myself smiling for no reason, then I realized I was thinking of you! :) Can't wait to talk to you tomorrow. Have a good evening! "

My heart has sunken so much and my armour has been stripped bare. Damn I can't believe how this year has just turned around so much in a crazy fast rate after the crazy beginning of a year. Love struck right here <3

If there is one thing I like about GAF it is the lack of signatures.

Hopefully vodapone have something like this in place. Il just stick to not going on youtube/the neogaf.com high res pc screenshot thread when I'm using my 3g connection.

I'm pretty glad most bars have wifi now so i can browse to my hearts content on the weekends if I'm out.

CHEEZMO Don't get an LG phone lol i have always thought of LG phones as budget trash

Thats not a great contract Kent. I pay £33 a month for 2000 minutes, unlimited texts and internet and an s3. 24 months tho.
 
Unless you're watching videos on your phone, you don't ever need more than 1GB of data. I get 500mb, and I've never hit the limit. Admittedly I use Opera to compress pages, and wifi whenever I can.

Yeah it's not that good. I pay £34 for the same as you. Did you go with three too?

With who? Is it really unlimited internet or is there a 'fair use' policy?

Three are the only company that has true all you can eat data. All the others have fair usage policies.

I went two months without internet because my berk of a flatmate torrented us out of an account.

That's two months relying on my mobile for internet.

1GB is not enough*.

And even if it was, that isn't the point. They really shouldn't be allowed to call it unlimited and I still don't know why the ASA lets them get away with it.

*Luckily, this was on the original iPhone contract when "unlimited" actually meant that.

Yeah but that's different when you only have access to the internet via a phone. Most of the time people have wifi at home, work, etc.

Guys what's your internet usage like? I installed a software to check my usage for a month, was hoping it'd be max 30 gigs. After 30 days: 108 Gb.. o_O
