Gawd another long story Stoop.
I went to see Þavas in Bus Stop who wasn't there but the guys in Bus Stop said some of them had the same phone message the day I got mine that said 'Emergency Use Only' they said it was just a network problem and now their phones are fine.
Apparently the loan phone that the shop (Opposite the Mosque with Turkcell in big letters on the front)gave me the battery was stone dead.[xx(] I went back to the shop and had problems with the next loan phone they gave me such as giving me the wrong charger and failing to tell me how to turn the mobile on and off
although I found out eventually. Lucky I found a spare charger that worked at home too!:D So I had to get a Turkish friend of mine to accompany me to the store to rant on my behalf and who tried to tell them that there was nothing wrong with my mobile and how could they have failed to see it was just a network problem!!?? and possibly NOT my brand new mobile after all. However it's gone off to Izmir and they said it would either be fixed or I would be given a new phone. Watch this space, there is nothing wrong with the damn phone!! Grrrrr[
!]
Having said all this why would I get a message to say my phone would be locked in 24 hours because it was not registered - is this some sort of scam when they see an english name or what? - sorry I have an evil mind:
