Hello my lovelies!
Ok I already have a Virgin mobile so....don't suggest getting another kind of phone haha
Howeverrrr....I have a warranty and I want to change mine to a different virgin mobile phone.
I have Nokia Groove 3155i. And have had Audiovox 8910 before.
The Nokia Groove sucks big time because it doesn't send like 95% of my text messages.
What do you guys think of Virgin Mobiles Samsung a640?
Which is the best Virgin Mobile to go with?
Wow, that's one too many questions LOL
Ohhh and no u.k phone suggestion please...CANADIAN only =)
Thanks mucho sexy mamas and papas!
XoXo
Sarah

Mobile Network in UK?
as a new customer what is the best offer at the moment to start a new contract with mobile network in UK plz ( aim not happy with with 3 network ) .Many Thanks
Mobile Network in UK?
Look at O2 online offers, they offer some really good deals
Reply:I've been with T-Mobile for about 14yrs, and if you ask you get some great deals.
Reply:02 Simplicity is a really affordable contract. You don't get a new phone but get a lot of minutes if you need them.
Reply:It depends upon your level of intended usage both in quantity and facilities.
For example, if you only use a couple of minutes per day, then virgin moble's Pay as You Go, combined with direct debit is cost effective.
However if you use a lot of minutes or texts or data downloads, then other providers would be better for you.
Carphone Warehouse shops often has good and objective comparisons of services and costs.
If most of the calls you make are to people on a particular network, it is often best to be on the same network, as calls are often cheaper to phones on the same network.
Also, when you move providers in the UK, you have a right to move your number to the new provider, so you don't have to tell everyone your new number.
Reply:All you should compare is how much does each company charge per call per minute. Forget anything that is "free"
Reply:o2 do a on line deal were you top up around £10 or more and get unlimited text's each month

Could I put a T Mobile sim card in a Sidekick? Help 10 points?
I have a normal T Mobile Slider and I really want to get a T Mobile Sidekick online on like EBay. Could I take the sim card from my slider and put it in my Sidekick??? Would it work fine since they're both T Mobile?? Thxs
Could I put a T Mobile sim card in a Sidekick? Help 10 points?
Since they're both T-Mobile phones it'll work fine.
Reply:yes it would work fine but to get all the features the sidekicks have like the Internet you will have to pay like 20 dollars extra a month. But if you dont want to pay you can just use it as a phone and to text.

Mobile phone question.?
I am travelling to France later in the year. I am hopeless at techno stuff....I have a pay as you go Mobile phone..(Vodaphone) I was thinking of asking a friend in France to buy a French Sim card for a French phone Co. and send it to me. Is this a good idea? Could I just put it in my phone when I got to France? I thought it would be cheaper than using my UK phone. What do you think? Any other suggestions.....my present phone is ancient, but still works fine....don't need a camera etc.
Mobile phone question.?
Vodafone do a thing called passport now which is free to regioster, it is 75p for first 3 minutes then your UK rate.
Reply:shouldnt need to. you can still send messages/make calls, but they`ll be a bit more expensive. you could look into how much it would cost for this and decide whcih way is cheaper. Personally though i wouldnt bother.

Hello people.

Mobile games for samsung u700? how to install?
Installing games on Samsung phones is a bit trickier than usual. I have heard lots of people have the same problem as you. My advice is search mobile9 forums for a guide on how to install games to a samsung (doesn't need to be phone specific).
I'm not 100% sure but i think you need to use wap and have a jad file as well. However, i did find this:

Mobile phone companies in Australia?
What is a good company to get a mobile phone that will allow unlimited text and talk each month (what is the price for this) and also allows me to call to the US?
Mobile phone companies in Australia?
You can choose to either go on prepaid - where you simply buy credit as and when you run out.... or postpaid...aka a plan.
Virgin mobile does a great deal - free text and calls to other Virgin mobile users in Australia. But of course, this only works if you have other friends on the Virgin network.
That said, most of the phone companies are pretty competitive, in terms of rate. I would suggest looking at Virgin, Three and Vodafone.
With regards to calling to the US, I would strongly recommend looking for a calling card as this works out much cheaper than using a landline to dial an overseas number, let alone using a mobile phone!
http://onlinecallingcards.com.au/
Hope this helps!
Reply:When I speak to anyone overseas, I use yahoo messenger or ninemsn messenger and you can talk to them for as long as you like. All you both need is a yahoo ID or a ninemsn hotmail ID.
Phone Companies are Telstra, Optus, Virgin, Vodafone, but as to what deals they have, I don't know. check them out on the net re google. www.telstra.com.au and type the rest of them this way also with the .com.au behind the name.
Reply:Optus is the best, followed by vodaphone. I've heard virgin is so-so and believe me Telstra is crap!
Reply:Australian mobile companies are very expensive compared to the U.S. Make sure you compare the cost against global roaming if your current phone company offers it.
Another thing to be aware of is that most Australian mobile companies will expect you to go on a contract for between 6-24 months. The site listed below might help to get an idea of costs.
Reply:pricing structures for mobile phones are completely different between the US and Australia (I discovered this the hard way when i went tot he states) But ultimately the first thing you should know is that without a credit history in this country (min 12 months) you will find it very hard to get a mobile which allows international dialling. I suggest you use skype to call home qand get a prepaid for your local stuff so that you aren't locked into anything too costly.
Reply:Telstra is the main company in Australia, but they are all very similar. Optus gives alot of deals and bonuses, and there is also virgin, vodafone, and so on. Check out their deals and contact details on these webstites to find out what you need, but i would suggest you use any of the ones i suggested, because they are the most trustworthy!! : )

Mobile broadband internet connection keeps cutting off?
About 3 months ago now I decided to get the Three mobile broadband thingy. Really impressed at first, I'm getting the HSDPA signal and getting download speeds of about 150kb/s. Which may seem slow to you, but after using the internet through my phone at 5kb/s, I've kinda noticed the speed difference. Anyhow, I am getting full signal strength as it says on the devices software, but sometimes it loses that HSDPA signal and switches back to 3g, it does not lose any signal bars, and just recently it is switching to and from 3g and HSDPA so quickly that it does not find time for an internet connection. I would really like to find a way just to have the 3g connection, so at least I could have a stable internet connection. It has nothing to do with the my computer as I have re-installed this on my laptop now with exactly the same results, I do not see anywhere in the options to have a connection preference. any software alternative for the Huawei e220? Help!!!

These devices are still fairly new - have you contacted '3' for a resolve?

If I have free mobile to mobile can I check my voicemail for free?
I have tmobile and free mobile to mobile. When I call myself on my cellphone It directs straight to my voicemail.. Are these free minutes, because I have free mobile to mobile..
If I have free mobile to mobile can I check my voicemail for free?
Yes. With T-Mobile's unlimited mobile to mobile, calling your voicemail is considered a mobile to mobile call. You don't even have to dial your number for it to be a free call. Just press and hold the "1" button and it will automatically dial your voicemail. I always use the "1" key to dial my voicemail and it is a mobile to mobile call. You can register at my.t-mobile.com for free to check your account info and minute usage. If you go to the current usage, it will show VM Retrieval and have a (F) next to it indicating a mobile to mobile call, just like below.

Mobile home question?
i have a 1998 doublewide mobile home 28x54 southridge it is on 1 acre of land i would like to sell this but it is currently not valued at what i owe. i would like to know what improvements or remodeling i can do to it to increase the value of it. the current payoff is 56000.00 so i need to make it worth that. what improvements can anyone suggest.
Mobile home question?
I've been there!! You don't say where it is (state, county or city etc.). In a time with real estate being so suppressed, it is likely the land is worth more than the mobile home. No matter what you do to it, it is still a mobile home. I'm sorry, but you will either have to just ride it out to pay off, default, and let the mortguage company forclose, or sell it at a loss.
Reply:you dont say how short you are in value. if a few thousand dollars then yes some updating would improve its value. if tens of thousands well then you might be stuck. see if you can divide the lot into two then maybe you can sell both parcels for that much
Reply:You might want to talk to a Realtor specializing in mobile homes and ask for their suggestions. You didn't mention the appraised value vs the mortgage owed. if the difference is substantial ($20,000+), unless the existing conditions warrant it, investing another $5,000 for cosmetics/updates probably will have little if any results. You may also talk with your bank and ask if there are any hardship programs available if your having a problem making the mortgage payments. this may include a refinance or extended payoff.
Reply:Not knowing anything about the county, or the market for mobiles there, I have some thoughts.
Living in one now, and having owned others, I want to agree in part with answer 1. First of all the value for you is in the land, not strictly the mobile, No offense meant.
You state it isn't VALUED at what you owe, which isn't at all uncommon, it is after all a 10 year old "Vehicle" I have no idea how long you've owned it, but have to believe as a buyer, a major part of the value to you was the land. I'd want to KNOW exactly what the tax assessed value is, or was last time you paid taxes, and registration/tag fees.
Also not knowing at all, the condition of the mobile, or the land I suggest NOT putting huge $$$ into either. As one answer alludes to, CURB APPEAL and cosmetics may help, but it is a mobile. To make major improvements or upgrades will never get you, your money back.
Part of the problem is getting financing for mobiles, especially now, with the Real Estate market in a slump, and the fact that it's an election year, and that we are approaching a recession, all contribute.
Certainly you can start small, such as upgrading 10 year old fixtures like sinks etc., Lighting fixtures, carpet, wall color or paneling, door knobs, cabinet handles, making cosmetic, practical improvements to the property, adding or offering in the sale, some small appliances, NEW, or furnishings, etc..
You're obviously "Upside down" in the mobile, but to spend thousands won't get you the 56 K. Whatever your choices in upgrades and improvements you should probably consider them sales points, but not profit increases.
Certainly when it's advertised, be creative, but honest. Play up the 1 acre, no neighbors within earshot, the value of the land, any improvements, even Freshly Painted. Shopping close, JOBS, recreation close, schools, etc. etc. State what the taxes are and adv. that as LOW. Consider Homeowners insurance even checking to help any prospective buyer know they can get Ins. without problems.
Other things such as Plumbing and electric will be things to check and possibly upgrade, NEW washer/dryer, New or repaired Decking, Screenrooms etc. Add a storage building, Pave the drive, even with gravel, create plant beds, Carport or garage, ROOF substance and condition??? The CURB appeal will be the initial HOOK, if anyone is interested.
Having no idea at all what your budget is, if you happened to spend 4K, bringing you up to 60K, you might consider you'll take a loss no matter, but at least be more able to sell, than advertising it AS IS.
Can you afford to RENT it? Hold the mortgage? Offer a Low down?
Steven Wolf
Just my two "sense"
Reply:It isn't clear whether you are talking about selling the mobile only or the land as well. You can't do a lot about the value of the land, usually. You also don't say how much the place is currently valued at, so we have no idea how much added value you're looking for. Whether you really get your money back when you do improvements depends on what you do, and how you do it. A major improvement such as a new kitchen will certainly get you a higher selling price, but it's unlikely to get you back more than you spent on it. It's like a car; if you have a $2,000 car and get $1,000 worth of repairs done on it, it doesn't mean you now have a $3,000 car, you probably have a $2400 car. If you do the work yourself, then you will effectively pay yourself for your labour when you sell. Think about projects low in materials costs but with your own labour used, such as painting. Clean and tidy the heck out of house and yard, that always helps and could be worth a 1000 or 2 at selling time, depending.
Kind of wish we had your real estate prices where I live. I've got an 18-year old mobile on 3 acres, it cost $250,000 almost 2 years ago and has gone up since which is nice but I'd rather have paid less to start with.
Reply:land scap curb appeal . focus on the Kitchen ,if the new buyer the wife doe not like the kitchen or the master bed room and bath, they won't buy no matter what the price is.
remember a fresh coat of paint on all walls is a pluss. No wild colors just a clean look , a pallate for the new owners to work with
Reply:Steven has given a very good synopsis of the situation.
Personally, I have always been against purchasing a pre-manufactured or Mobile home because of it's continual depreciation. It's like buying an expensive car. You can never re sell it for what you have invested. As a matter of fact, here in Georgia, a problem with disposing of unwanted mobil homes is developing. No one knows what to do with them.
Basically, it's like paying rent. If you are not concerned about building equity, that's your choice.
But, that's not solving your problem. My advise to you is to sell it for whatever you can, take that money and run! I hope you will learn from the lesson and buy a nice stick built home that builds equity.
Reply:I agree with Steven. Any money you stick in the property will get you very little in return. I would make it as attractive as possible. Plant some flowers and clean the place up real nice. Talk to a few successful real estate companies in your area who handle mobile homes. See what they have to say. Tell them what you need to get out from under it and go from there. Good luck.

Certainly you can start small, such as upgrading 10 year old fixtures like sinks etc., Lighting fixtures, carpet, wall color or paneling, door knobs, cabinet handles, making cosmetic, practical improvements to the property, adding or offering in the sale, some small appliances, NEW, or furnishings, etc..
You're obviously "Upside down" in the mobile, but to spend thousands won't get you the 56 K. Whatever your choices in upgrades and improvements you should probably consider them sales points, but not profit increases.
Certainly when it's advertised, be creative, but honest. Play up the 1 acre, no neighbors within earshot, the value of the land, any improvements, even Freshly Painted. Shopping close, JOBS, recreation close, schools, etc. etc. State what the taxes are and adv. that as LOW. Consider Homeowners insurance even checking to help any prospective buyer know they can get Ins. without problems.
Other things such as Plumbing and electric will be things to check and possibly upgrade, NEW washer/dryer, New or repaired Decking, Screenrooms etc. Add a storage building, Pave the drive, even with gravel, create plant beds, Carport or garage, ROOF substance and condition??? The CURB appeal will be the initial HOOK, if anyone is interested.
Having no idea at all what your budget is, if you happened to spend 4K, bringing you up to 60K, you might consider you'll take a loss no matter, but at least be more able to sell, than advertising it AS IS.
Can you afford to RENT it? Hold the mortgage? Offer a Low down?

Just my two "sense"
Reply:It isn't clear whether you are talking about selling the mobile only or the land as well. You can't do a lot about the value of the land, usually. You also don't say how much the place is currently valued at, so we have no idea how much added value you're looking for. Whether you really get your money back when you do improvements depends on what you do, and how you do it. A major improvement such as a new kitchen will certainly get you a higher selling price, but it's unlikely to get you back more than you spent on it. It's like a car; if you have a $2,000 car and get $1,000 worth of repairs done on it, it doesn't mean you now have a $3,000 car, you probably have a $2400 car. If you do the work yourself, then you will effectively pay yourself for your labour when you sell. Think about projects low in materials costs but with your own labour used, such as painting. Clean and tidy the heck out of house and yard, that always helps and could be worth a 1000 or 2 at selling time, depending.
Kind of wish we had your real estate prices where I live. I've got an 18-year old mobile on 3 acres, it cost $250,000 almost 2 years ago and has gone up since which is nice but I'd rather have paid less to start with.
Reply:land scap curb appeal . focus on the Kitchen ,if the new buyer the wife doe not like the kitchen or the master bed room and bath, they won't buy no matter what the price is.
remember a fresh coat of paint on all walls is a pluss. No wild colors just a clean look , a pallate for the new owners to work with
Reply:Steven has given a very good synopsis of the situation.
Personally, I have always been against purchasing a pre-manufactured or Mobile home because of it's continual depreciation. It's like buying an expensive car. You can never re sell it for what you have invested. As a matter of fact, here in Georgia, a problem with disposing of unwanted mobil homes is developing. No one knows what to do with them.
Basically, it's like paying rent. If you are not concerned about building equity, that's your choice.
But, that's not solving your problem. My advise to you is to sell it for whatever you can, take that money and run! I hope you will learn from the lesson and buy a nice stick built home that builds equity.
Reply:I agree with Steven. Any money you stick in the property will get you very little in return. I would make it as attractive as possible. Plant some flowers and clean the place up real nice. Talk to a few successful real estate companies in your area who handle mobile homes. See what they have to say. Tell them what you need to get out from under it and go from there. Good luck.
Mobile home..water sitting on pad.?
I'm putting in a double wide mobile home onto my property...Ive got concrete runners installed on a clay pad, the top of the runners are "flush" with the pad itself. The pad slopes away from the concrete runners but rain does not run off when it gets on top of the pad itself .In fact the rain water just sits on top of some of the runners (in some areas over a inch deep) because there are mounds of dirt in between each runner...Should I level out the mounds? or should i put more dirt in on top of the runners? . Today is Wed. and I'm moving the home in on Monday. It rained lastnight and there is water on a few of the runners just as ive been talking about...With sunlight, it will evaporate in notime but once the house gets in im worried this wont be the case...Although the clay pad and runners are above the "regular" ground level im pretty sure rain water will eventually get under the house after i move it in and i wouldnt want it standing on the runners for long...Any advice is apprecia
Mobile home..water sitting on pad.?
Try using sharp sand instead of dirt in between the runners.

Mobile home question..Concrete runners installed..water issue.?
I think that the home will prevent it from getting wetter. Skirting shouldn't be installed untill it dries out under the home. It will dry out even with the home over it.

Mobile Phone Tools?
I recently got a Motorola RAZR V3i. I got Mobile Phone Tools off the internet as well. When I hook my phone up to my computer via usb cable, MPT opens and there is a phone on my screen. But it doesn't recognize my phone. And no matter what format, the ringtones and pictures are in the wrong one. Can anyone help me?
Mobile Phone Tools?
The cell-phone only works, when recognizing by the MPT.
There can be more than one defect.
Check the cable (possibly newinstallation).
Check the battery of the phone ( must be full).
Check the MPT installation.
Check Ur steps to conect the phone.
Does this look good

Mobile Phone?
I have got a digital camera, an Mp3/4 player, and a mobile phone, which is not so hot. It's an old Nokia phone, would it make any sense to get a new phone, because I've already got all this stuff? It's all better quality than what is in one phone, right???

Yhuu Could Get A New Fone But Then Again...All The Modern Fones Have Got Mp3/4 Players n Cameras iN Them So There Would Be No Point Having Those Things Aswell As Yhuur Fone Ox
Reply:I have an N95, I tend to find that it has replaced my camera for everything but a few things, and I'll probably never get a dedicated mp3 player again. So yup, it can be better in a few ways to have a single device do do all these things instead of many.
The camera is no replacement for a good DSLR though :-)
Reply:all advices are only focused on the features for digicam, MP3/4 player, and the like. if i were you, i have to look for a cellphone that can automatically block unwanted calls, unwanted texts which this is the most annoying situation in having cellphones and getting a lot of prank calls, etc. etc. coz cellphones nowadays are equipped with those things being mentioned by the popular, BUT the blocking feature is not well-known or is not available in any cellphones.
*well, can mine do whatever.
Reply:Nokia 6230, it's got all the things you've already got except the camera's of a lower quality yet it's still a VERY reliable phone with tons of other features, and also it's cheap only about £35-40. Tis a classic, I still have my 6230.
Reply:If you are OK carrying all these stuff, you don't need to buy a new phone. But you are looking for an all-in-one solution, you need an N series phone. Preferably 73, 81, 82, or 95.
Reply:You should definitely get a nice phone as well.
Of course you don't need to get an extremely expensive or new one.
But a nice LG one would probably do you good.
Reply:The stand alone digital camera will be better than those found in cell phones, but as for the mp3/4 player - the ones in the phones are just as good, and even can be better.

Mobile Internet in Spain (pay as you go)? UMTS 3G?
Hi, I am using 3 PAYG Internet in the UK and need something similar in Spain. Mobile Internet in Spain - pay as you go. Thanks for you help guys.

Mobile Internet in Spain (pay as you go)? UMTS 3G?
Depends who your provider is. I use Orange/Wanado and on Pay As You Go too - no problems so far and I've been with them for over 10 years. Costs are a 'tad' high, but remember that incoming calls are charged.....so, best to 'discourage' anybody from ringing you ! Receiving texts doesn't cost you anything - sending them DOES !
Reply:ive got the mobile internet connection from movistar.the biggest mobile company in spain.my contract is 1 euro a day up to 10mb of traffic,if dont use it you dont have to pay the euro,lol.no fixed charge,or minumum fee so thats okay.if you go above 10mb in the same day it costs you another euro.the coverage and speed depends where you are.sometimes its pathetic,forget about big file downloads,only good for reading your mail,messenger runs okay.also depends which part of the country you are,madrid and centre of spain are more movistar orientated,whereas north and barcelona have better vodafone coverage(vodafone other big mobile company in spain).by the way you have to buy the modem, pcmcia/usb but they give you a discount if you sign a contract for a year.about the vodafone service i only know the prices,dont know if the service is better.with vodafone you have to pay a fixed monthly rate,about 30 euros,but you still have a limited daily traffic,if you go over they charge for excess. they have unlimited traffic contracts but i think it goes up to more than 60 euros a month.hope this has given you an idea.
