    Yes, I'm stealthy!
    I even spotted that spelling mistake and then got distracted by chocolate 3 seconds later.

    That'd be good if it's a Nokia.

    I don't turn mine off so I wouldn't see the startup message. Are you one of those weird people who turns their phone off at night? ARE YOU!? :mad:

    Nah, I put it on silent when I sleep. Are you one of those people who goes mad if someone txts or calls in the night? :eek:

    My battery seems borked and the phone ran down and switched off earlier, only remembered the start up message when I ..turned it on.

    I presume that was a default message...

    Mine says "hands off, grubby peasant". Therefore if anyone steals my phone I get the last word in :)

    changed the hands going across on my startup to the hands passing a joint instead. Got bored of that fair quick.

    Dunno, think it's just Sony Ericson. However, my husband helpfully put a start up message on my last phone unknown to me as I never switch it off. This one time it was playing up on me, my sister who works in Vodafone took it in to work to get one of her supervisors to have a look. She told him it was hers. He turned the phone off and on..paused and looked at my sister with a raised eyebrow. The start up message said 'big balls on my husband':o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I haven't changed mine in a while :/


    It's actually a lolcat with hair-curlers / explosives strapped to him.

    Nokia


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Start up messages, whats the point?!

    No seriously, it says Nokia, then I swear at it because it's not starting up fast enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭manutd


    It makes no sense to me to have a start-up message, i can't do it on my phone anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,683 ✭✭✭Kensington


    My phone doesn't have a start up message option on it :(
    It does, however, both make and take phone calls


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    no idea, reakon its the factory default, only time i turn it on is after the plane lands, or if i dont find the charger in time when the battery is low

    Mine just says Nokia, then two hands homosexually reach from each side of my screen and touch each other.

    i cant have a welcome message on my ****ty fone.. < sniff >

    makes me realise how underpriveleged i really am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭GalwayKiefer


    I never turn mine off plus it can't display a welcome message anyway. However before I gave my mother a phone for her birthday last year I changed the welcome message to "This phone has been reported stolen." Bless her she's not very technically minded so I got a clip around the ear and a bollic*ing for giving her a "stolen" phone. :rolleyes: :D

    Meteor jingle and logo. :(
    I'm already using your damn network assholes, leave me alone!
    I have to press my thumb over the speaker to muffle it every time... so sick of hearing it.
    Might actually change network if they're still doing this.

    Considering all I want to do when I turn my phone on is actually use the dam thing, I skip the welcome message and all that lark.

    Mine used to be "Bomb activated" but I realised when turning it back on while in an airport that it mightn't be funny any more.

    I'm now totally cool and retro by having no startup message.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,124 ✭✭✭wolfpawnat


    You thick b!tch you forgot the charger again!!!!!

    It makes me laugh!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    mine says...... "give my phone back you prick"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,167 ✭✭✭Notorious


    My phone never sleeps, so a start-up message would be pointless.
