Tedious Technology

_TheBeautifulOnes_ [Edit] [Delete] 11 replies 17:08, 17 June '12

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

      _TheBeautifulOnes_ @blimeycharlie | 17 Jun '12, 17:16 | X
      • I'm out of ideas then, sorry.

        Use a telephone kiosk or something, idk.

        blimeycharlie @_TheBeautifulOnes_ | 17 Jun '12, 17:17 | X
        • 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

    fuckyeahdubstep | 17 Jun '12, 17:30 | X
    • done it, made no difference

      i reckon it just dislikes me

      _TheBeautifulOnes_ @fuckyeahdubstep | 17 Jun '12, 17:31 | X
  • is the sim card on the same network as the phone?

    Oh_Shangri-La | 17 Jun '12, 17:36 | X
    • yes

      _TheBeautifulOnes_ @Oh_Shangri-La | 17 Jun '12, 17:37 | X
      • then it sounds like the sim's been barred. ring up the network,

        when you find a working phone

        Oh_Shangri-La @_TheBeautifulOnes_ | 17 Jun '12, 17:51 | X
        • oh, probably.

          After I got my new phone it might have been.
          Thanks, I'll give 'em a ring

          _TheBeautifulOnes_ @Oh_Shangri-La | 17 Jun '12, 17:53 | X
  • put it through the washing machine
