Firstly I solved my mobile dilemma. I promised to sell my 3210 to Rach, and assumed that I could use my old Motorola beast until I got a new one. Turns out that I can't, as the motorola beast is single band, and on the BT Cellnet band, which isn't the same as the Orange one. d'oh.

So - my mum has been extra extra extra brilliant. We were out and I was looking at PAYG or All Inclusive deals, and Vodafone had a £150 deal for 12months line rental and 100 anytime minutes included per month. So then we looked in the BT Cellnet shop. Oh boy. Their deal is twice as brill :) They do a £199 package - which is free line rental - for life.

Included in this are either:

• 50 anytime minutes
• 50 text messages
• 100 Weekend minutes and 20 text messages
• 200 weekend and evening minutes

Unfortunately none of these are perfect - I really want a "20 mins anytime and 20 text message" a month option, and it would suit me perfectly, meaning almost zero cost to me. But I've chosen the 50 text messages a month option, as most of my bill is made up of this. I could have a £2.99 a month charge in order to have 50 minutes AND 50 SMSes, I haven't decided yet. I have 28 days to decide.

Secondly - this phone came SIM locked to BT Cellnet, so after spending a half-hour hunting for Jethro's Unlocking software, I found it at last and unlocked it so I can use my Orange PAYG SIM in it, to use up that fiver of credit that I was given. Anyone else got a Nokia (3210/3310/8110/5110) they want unlocking and is willing to either post or bring round? A fiver a go :)
