Tedious Technology
sup dudes and dudelets,
My phone went through the wash and is fucked. Got a spare phone and that, but it won't let me make calls. It says 'Emergency Calls Only' on the screen whenever I dial a number, and there's no issue with the signal.
It's a Samsung G-somethingorother on Orange but there's no network name on the screen either- could it be to do with that?
Any advice/solutions? It's been in a bowl of rice already, and the Post Office is shut.
Perhaps it's a pay-as-you-go phone
and you need to put credit on it.
incorrect
I'm out of ideas then, sorry.
Use a telephone kiosk or something, idk.
Might do, yeah
Don't feel like getting a note out just to break into it for phone change, though. It's not an essential call but still irritating.
need to put a SIM card in it, innit
done it, made no difference
i reckon it just dislikes me
is the sim card on the same network as the phone?
yes
then it sounds like the sim's been barred. ring up the network,
when you find a working phone
oh, probably.
After I got my new phone it might have been.
Thanks, I'll give 'em a ring
put it through the washing machine
