Viewty Out Of Stock

loz2601 · 22-01-2008, 11:38

Hi
Was hoping someone in the know might know about these things - it seems to be out of stock nearly everywhere (bar T-mobile, who apparently have bad coverage) and I was wondering if anyone knows how long these things usually take!

If not, no worries, it's just it's my birthday soon and I was hoping to get it as close to then as possible.

Thanks

No supply problems with these in Orange.

T-Mobile have fantastic coverage i've found.

Use 'StreetCheck' on their website.

I've never had coverage issues with T-Mobile.

1. The Prada is a VERY old handset discontinued by Orange ages. There are only 182 left in Orange retail.
2. There are 1722 Viewtys currently available in Orange stores. No supply problems there!

Don't forget guys Orange Retail and Orange Direct have different warehouses. I wouldn't expect Viewtys back in till Monday with Direct, they are delivered tomorrow and if we're lucky it will be Saturday but they have to go through testing first.

Okay thankyou, have decided to go with T-mobile.
Thanks again!

There is some good deals on Dialaphone.com, and I also realised that although my phone is on O2, you can use other networks sims on it too. I'm going to use t-mobile for data as its only £1 for the whole day, unlike O2 who's tariff is £3 per 100mb!

Order tomorrow, and they will have it delivered for free the next day.

I just bought a Sim free Viewty... it cost me £300 but I didn't want to enter an 18 month contract for £30+ when I don't use the phone for talking that much and with my current plan I get 500 free texts every month anyway (PAYG, too)

How much do you have to top up to get 500 texts?

Lawe13 · 25-01-2008, 15:02

I'd want to know that too, a lot of people think they can save money on PAYG when in fact they are spending more and getting less value for money.

For example I signed a lady up the other day on the Dolphin 35 (600 Mins, Unlimited Texts) for £21.50 with a FOC LG Viewty. She was absolutely gobsmacked.
