I`ll put you out of your misery, only because your "team" lost to Fulham last night.
Scunner is Keith, i am Dave.
In Tottenham language, Scunners post reads, "Dave, How come when I phoned you today it said 'number is not recognised"

Hi All
I can't see what all the fuss is about. When I got redundant at Christmas my company retrieved it's mobile. So what did I do? I went out and bought one. I got a Motorolla C115 for 19 quid (Aldi) which included 5 quids worth of calls. My Turkey mobile has been in the dressing table drawer in Calis since October and if it doesn't work when I go back in May then sod the expense I'll capitulate and buy a Turkish one.
Cheers
Ken

1. I phoned you Dave.
2. It said 'number not recognised'.
3. How come.

Once they release a forum add-on for the hard of understanding my work here will be done.

I didn't phone you at all, I was trying to make you worry that your phone had been cut off, not that it appears to have worked

I paid some credits to register mine, it was all done automatically with Turkcell sending instructions by text and it seems to be fine.

i know they are usefull and we have all got ourselves so used to them we cannot do without mobile phones,but its not the end of the world to do what we had to do in the old days.
walk to the phone box.
i think the phone cards are great value for money.

quite romantic walking to the old phone box hand in hand with the one you love.

Marcus, you romantic old fool! My memories of using a phonecard are A)the shops run out of phone cards,B) all the lines to England are engaged, C)you get behind someone in the queue who talks to the whole family including grandma and the budgie or D)the flaming phonebox is out of order!

SMS sent out to thousands of Turkcell and Avea phones tonight.
Turkcell is giving 24 hours and Avea 48 till they switch the phones of on unregistered phones.
I got the message at 6 this evening (and on a friday) and the funny thing is when I called turkcell to bitch to them they told me that my phone was registered (which I did before the december deadline).

Muppets!!

If you have credit on your phone does that mean they will take take credit off automically & so register you? OR do you have to do something also? Impossible from UK probably.
New Sim card on ours in May - don't know whether registered or not as assistant who sold us ours just shrugged his shoulders when asked about registration.
Plenty of credit left on phone - anyone know if we'll be OK?

its nothing to do with the credit (whatever that is) or your sim card but the actual phone itself.
What you need to do if your phone isnt registered is to get the original invoice (must be in your name) along with your passport stamped by customs. that is if you brought your phone from outside Turkey.
