Buying a phone for the gf

Slippin Jimmy

The girlfriends birthday is coming up soon. She has been looking at different phones, she said she is not pushed with which ever one she gets. So after much taught:rolleyes: I have decided to get her a phone. I know for a fact that she wants to keep her old number because everyone knows her on that number. So I was thinking of going the upgrade option. She is currently on meteor as am I and she still wants to stay on meteor.

I want it to be a suprise and don't want her to know that I am getting it for her. But will I be able to buy the phone for her or would she have to be in the store with me when I am buying the phone? I know it would make her birthday if I got her one. I was thinking of the Nokia 6230i btw.

Meteor are due to get this in. Well, it's in the catalogue anyways, and not under the coming soon section.

She doesn't need to be with you when you get the phone, unless she's on bill pay. All you need to do is make sure she's registered, hasn't gotten an upgrade in the last 30 days and to ask for an upgrade pack when you go into the shop. You're better off going into a Meteor store. CPW do give out prepay packs in place of upgrades, as do Xtravision, but that might be just my local ones.

Cheers thanks for the advice. That phone in the link above looks deadly, wouldn't mind getting one for myself now:D . Anyway thanks.

looks good aye, but the specs are not the best.. (just incase she wants a good spec phone)

that phone is only a VGA Camera,4mb memory and no blutooth.

Typical, never even looked to see if it had bluetoth:rolleyes: . Thanks for pointing that out.

companies that don't offer bluetooth as standard now on phones is shocking, nokia are the worst offenders for it tbh.

also i doubt the guy would like a high-spec phone unless of course he's got a big wallet

I'd got for the 7360 too. Most girls aren't into the techie stuff anyway, so it'd be a waste getting anything too fancy.

yeah its gas. you say "this one's got a memory card and bluetooth so you can use is as an mp3 player and send stuff to your friends"

they counter with "but this one's pretty"

Don't get the 7360.

It has the features of a phone from 2001 if not worse, biggest rip off from Nokia yet, preying on those that haven't a clue and go by looks (AKA women in most cases generally speaking )

And yeah I know most women and alot of men too wouldn't care/know about alot of features mentioned above, but its still nokia ripping people off, basically charging 90% of the price for looks.
