Back On The Radar

So, today, I finally managed to go and get my phone sorted and have got myself an Australian number! It only took Orange about A MONTH AND A BLOODY HALF to unlock it for me, and because of them being so unbearably slow my phone bill is now over £100 due to having to use my phone for emergencies out here. But, everything is fine and dandy now because I can actually use my phone!

This is going to make my life a hell of a lot easier. I was just using my iphone to hook up to any wifi that I could get hold of and contacting people over Facebook, which was all great on campus, but left me totally stranded if I went into the city! Nightmare. All sorted now though.

For anyone that's had to unlock an iPhone recently too, you'll know what a palaver it is. Basically, the main issue is, is that your network at home (in my case Orange) have no interest in unlocking your phone, as it usually just means you're going to start using another network, and so it's not a priority for them and they enjoy taking their sweet ass time about it. Also, EE have now decided that they will only charge £20 to do it, but it'll take them a month, and they'll make sure that all other phone people, i.e: those funny little Indian men in phone shops who're whizzes with technology, have to charge £90. My suggestion for anyone going abroad who still wants to use their iPhone is to get it unlocked well in advance, or just buy a crappy little phone over here to tide you over. Otherwise you end up with a huge phone bill like me!

The only problem now is, is that I have to go and tell the bank, my job, the doctors etc. that my number has now changed, and actually learn my new number! 

For all those Brits reading this, you'll be pleased to know I'm still using the same Snapchat as before so you're not getting rid of me! Whatsapp is different though.... go onto my Facebook and my new number is there.
