Actually you might be right - I've never had a phone purchased on contract but I got the impression that there was a certain amount if "it's knackered, give me a new one" that was allowed, provided you hadn't obviously thrown it at a wall.

Boxing day I took into the Genius who said "yep its broken". I asked if he could fix it and he said, "nope but we can replace it with a brand new one for £139". Wrap it up quick says I. It was on O2 PAYG for a day or two and then I got O2 to unlock it (£15) so I could transfer to a Voda SIM. Cheers -- JohnB |
