Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone

After how long it took me to get through to get the phone in the first place Im hoping to avoid that option!

Interesting that so many are saying they are being turned down on credit check, wonder if its more that the popularity has surpassed the supplies

put it this way, it better not be, as every single credit check gets placed on your credit file, and if to many appear in a given time than that effects your credit in a big way, send the £2 for your credit file and find out if NTL:tw are responsible for these credit failures.

if its proven your being failed because they cant keep up then theres a BIG legal problem comeing their way....

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone

If you failed a credit check with Virgin, I'm not sure how that can ben NTL:Telewest's fault?
If you did fail a credit check, it might be a better course of action to check your details with one of the credit reference agencies like Experian.

what do you think iv been saying, of course check your credit file at all 3 of the CRA's, and perhaps your 'how can that be ntls fault' will be answered.

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone

I would presume that when typing out a message you will have some 'options' button where predictive text or t9 will be turn offable

right, anyone else stuck with it here goes.

open messages as if your going to write a message. depress the # key for 2-3 seconds and it will change to ABC voila! You will need to do this every time you write a message.
