Ftp direct

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Today I successfully ftped into my iBook without a router. I used internet connection sharing which let the G1 straight in.
As I was using wifi for the connection sharing, I lost the connection to the internet as it too used the wifi.
Unfortuately I was unable to reconnect to the internet as ICS wouldn’t shut down. Nothing a reboot can’t fix, but annoying that I have to reboot to resume normal play,

Although the android browser works fine with wordpress, I’m using wpToGo as there are somethings which are easier… if you are reading this post it is working fine too!

T-mobile PAC Numbers

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

I phoned T-Mobile today to tell them my PAC number to transfer my old phone number.

With all the hoohar about transfering SIMs with Vodafone, I’m not holding my breathe that the number transfer will happen smoothly.

It was my first phone call to T-Mobile and on first impressions, the service seems quite normal. Quite polite anyway.

The operater said the change over is scheduled for the 4th and that I may lose a little bit of service as it happens.

Fingers crossed…

Vodafone, T-Mobile and PAC numbers

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Today, I phoned Vodafone to tell them, Bye bye.

I requested my PAC number, but was disappointed they didn’t ask why I was leaving. Realsitically I had no choice as the the G1 is only on T-Mobile, but I wanted to rant and say the following:

  • You stole my SE P800
  • You said my SE P900 had a broken joystick (there isn’t a joystick) that is why I didn’t get top dollar for it.
  • You sold me a £5.00 SIM I didn’t need.
  • You couldn’t transfer my number to the SIM I didn’t need quoting, it would take 30 minutes, then when it didn’t happen, up to 12 hours and when that didn’t happen, up to 24 days.
  • Giving out my details to some con artists who tried to steal my account details.

None of this was said, as she said, send a cancellation note in writing and we’ll send you your PAC code soon.

There was an automated phone call after a couple of minutes and I did leave a message of unhappiness that after 10 years of custom, they didn’t even ask why I was leaving.
