Amy is getting a new cellphone

[Listening to: Lifted - Lighthouse Family - Ocean Drive (04:34)]

It was such a shame, Amy loves having her mobile "pay as you go" phone, she saves up pocket money for top-ups and is never without it - But every few weeks she gets a £3.00 Ring Tone text message with no obvious source that completely wipes out her credits.

I have spoken to Orange, and unfortunately unless we can find out who is sending them, we cannot stop them - but there is no "from" number!

So, I have agreed that she can have an early xmas present, she is getting a "Samsung E700" on contract next week. Orange are currently offering that phone for FREE, with 120 minutes talktime (any network, any time) and 30 text messages per month for £15. That should be arriving on Tuesday.

As this one is a 'flip' phone, it should also stop her making "accidental" calls - she kept forgetting to lock the keypad on the Nokia!

I have warned her NOT to let anyone else play with this phone! She used to pass the 8310 around her friends as if it was some sort of game machine!!
