Hey all haven't been on for a while as I was starting to forum more than work. So had to give it a miss.
I had a mate over last night who has a Voda jas jam and a telecom 6255i like mine. He was saying in 30 days the same numbers while be able to be taken from a telecom mobile to a vodaphone. And he can't wait to as he wanted to go to Voda but didn't want to loose his long standing 027 mumber. And actually wanted to be able to have both on the same phone??
I have been quite happy with the telecom service but really unhappy with there antiquated range of phones. Over more than one 2 year upgrade cycle. The last time I went to upgrade luckly Geekzone provided me with the phones Telecom where testing at the time(2 years ago) and I waited after my contract ended for 3-4 months for the 6255i to turn up. Because of the ban on the info I don't even have that up my sleeve and the old 6255i is shutting down, the arial has come adrift etc etc.
Now I'm in the same boat!! There is nothing except maybe the Sanyo 8400 that even comes close to the features the 6255i has that doesn't look like it came out of the Ark. With my mates using the sexy looking Voda V6 and KRZR and V3. I'm the joke of the group. That doesn't bother me at all but there ia nothing I like in the Telecom Flip phone range. The 8400 is ok but it doesn't compare in sexyness to the KRZR.
I've had my number for years and years and want to keep it. Alot of us in business don't want to loose our numbers and are tied to Telecom because of printed busness cards letterhead etc etc. Will this mean a mass exodus of telecom customers for the lack of phones and various other reasons.
First of all is it true??
Will the number transportability mean I can buy a V6 or a KRZR and use my 027 number on it????
