Lucky Day

This is my lucky day or what?

I have been a 3G customer for 2 years and I'm aware that it is probably the time to get a new handset (screen scratched, battery getting flat too quickly - actually it's my brother's phone, mine of the same model was defective more than a year ago) but because I'll be here for less than 12 months, hence I didn't want to sign a new contract.

And guess what? I just got a call from 3G customer service and they offered to replace my old handset with the new Motorolla V3x - absolutely free!!!

That's not all.... they are letting me keep my plan (which is now no longer available cos it was a promotional plan when 3G was first introduced in London... tell me where you can find 25pounds deal for 500 anytime anynetwork minutes?) and they are giving me 50% discount on my price plan for the next 3 months from June-August.

Well, this is one satisfied customer.... although my 'loyalty' with them for the past 2 years was simply because this is the only plan in the market that offers the most peak hour free minutes to any network per doller sense.

And I just did a check on the web to see what Motorola V3x has in store. I thought they're replacing mine with one of the to-be-obsolete models but this one is quite up-to-date I must say.... check out the specs...

Tri-band + MPeg4 player + 2 Mega pixel camera? okay, this baby meets all my basic criteria (if i have to fork out money to get a new phone) and has more functions than I probably need. Cool. I suspect it'll be a refurbished handset (which crazy businessman will hand out new handsets for free?) but as long as it doesn't give me any problems until I graduate, I'm happy. Okay, since this is like my lucky week or something, maybe a DVD burner or a nano iPod will fall from the sky next week? ... hahaha... yeah, maybe, but everyone's entited to dream.... =)
