Time to change mobile phone providers I think.
For the last few days I have been unable to access my voicemail - everytime I call it I get a message saying “Sorry your account has no access to the system. Please contact customer service.” Well after missing a couple of messages due to this, and nearly missing a birth as a result, I decided to give customer service a call. The girl was very nice and helpful and tried all sorts of tricks to fix it but ultimately I am left with the same problem and no voicemail.
My contract expired a long long time ago, so it may be time to go hunting for a new provider. Basically what I want is :
- reliable service
- moderate price with plenty of included calls and sms
- fairly cheap rates for data/internet/GPRS
- any free gifts for signing up would be a nice bonus
Anyone got any suggestions for me?

I was painfully reminded last night just how frustrating sport can be, particularly soccer. It’s sad when the result of a game can be decided by the subjective opinion of one referee, and how one bad decision can make the difference. I think that’s why I like cricket more than most other sports. Even though we see mistakes made from time to time, it is rare that they decide the result of the match. And unlike most other sports they are not afraid to use technology (aka the “third umpire”) to try and minimise the chance of a bad call.
But anyway all credit to the Socceroos, who defied expectations just to make it this far, let alone come so close to making it to the next round. I look forward to seeing Italy go down to which ever team they come up against next.
