Mobile phones suck at times, but it seems to work out. Sort of.

[starsthatshine]

I got an SMS this morning saying that I have to refill my mobile in order to get the 0 SEK/minute offer that my mobile company (Parlino) is offering. The thing is that there was a lot of trouble changing the company since my mobile was company locked and the salesman (hate that loser!) said that the money aren't activated until I put the SIM card into my cellphone, so they are basically paying for the first month. However, I learned that this was not the case. *sigh*

So I emailed the company and now they're apparently refilling my cellphone with another 30 days, free at charge, so that's good. But still... I'm a bit annoyed. Also I learned that the coverage I was told is not the same as the one that they actually have. I have a worse coverage now, which I suspected. Mobiles suck. Sometimes. Well, at least I can call 50%-70% of the Swedish population on their cellphones without a minute fee.

Anyway, gotta run because we're invited to dinner in TEN minutes and I'm NOT EVEN DRESSED YET! *eeeeikkk*

I never bite at those offers. it always tend to complicate things.

I've never been subjected to one before so, innocent as I was, I kind of took it. I suppose I kinda regret it now. *le sigh* Oh well, I can call more without feeling guilty :D

um um um, as you know I have clinged to your journal for a while now for the lovely LoM/DW crossover fic...
and not once did I read your info carefully enough (or if I even did read it and not just poked icons, oh never mind) to see that you are Swedish! Oh my.

Heeeeej XD
(Parlino? I have never heard of it. Mmmmm free phone time. Bless my deal with Tele2 giving me the monthly charge to call and text and whatever with. MAkes my phone + bill cheapy cheap)

Hej hej :D Haft en trevlig dag? Being Swedish owns :D

Parlino? Seriously, you've missed that company? It's EVERYWHERE, I tell you, everywhere. Every contest "... and win a SIM card from Parlino". It's that company with the yellow santas that goes "Billigt. Billigt." "Men sluta tjata..." etc.

I hate that I don't have Telia coverage anymore. It's such a bad coverage up here and I can't call my dad (not that I have before either but hypothetically, if I wanted to, I couldn't). Sounds like a cool deal with Tele2. However, I kinda lose at those kinds of agreements because... last year it took me a year to finish 250 SEK :P I had people always calling me instead of the other way around.

it so does XD

Ummmmm, yes I have *dies*
I think I'm like isolated from the world or something. Weird.
Maybe I have seen it but you know, never really noticed

Where do you live with such a sucky coverage?
Thankfully I don't have preoblem with that.
Haha yeah, I suppose you do then. It was the kind of deal where you pay 1kr for your phone, 99kr for the uppkopplingsavgift thing and 99kr a month for 18 months. And got 99kr each month to use for whatever you want. Which makes it a kinda cheap phone. I just see it as paying like 2000kr for my phone and then not paying anything for calling and texting (cause I don't use 99kr a month). And that's good XD (my other phone was dying on me poor thing)

Up north. *sigh* I'm getting so sick with people saying how "the summer is raining away" and by the time they'd shown the "people are fleeing out of the country in fear of a rainy summer", it'd only rained a day here since the Summer Solstice. *sigh* There are people who live higher up than Gävle! :P

That sounds good, although I've always heard that deals like that tend to suck, but that might just be me :P People are spreading such lies. Just look at that sucky salesman :P

[pnr.livejournal.com]

how far north? *curious*
(my genes are half northern, half soutern you see xD)

haha yeah I know. I am probably one of the few people in the south going "Yippee! Rain!" *laugh*
But yeah, it's all "omfg rain!" when like half of Sweden is bathing in sunlight. Although I suppose the omg!rain thing is fueled a bit by UK turning into Atlantis XD


yeah I know. I hope I don't get icky surprises. I read the fine print and the salesman was all nice and helpful (like one of the most helpful ones I've ever met!)... hopefully not a sucky liar like the one you encountered.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Umeå. How about you?

True but still. What happened to reporting positive things? Like... "Nu har färsk potatisen kommit till Konsum, färsk och säkert precis som förra veckan." :P LOL. Sorry, just had to :P

The thing was is that they aren't showing you the fine print, they just stand there and talk and just... oh. Well, I can call for free to Telia, Parlino, Halebop and Tele2 now so I suppose that's better than Telia Dygn och Helger.... But still, it's gonna cost me a lot of money :P

I've been to where you live, yay XD
Lund ^^ Like 150 mil south or something haha.
But my daddy is from Luleå *nods* (and mum from Malmö. So what a mix I have)

ahaha yes! bring on those news XD
Like the only news I like are the ones we get next to the comics. New that are really short and weird but nice. Like about a man crossing the US in a tractor or some weird way they're gonna get pandas to mate in China XD Love those kinda of news.


Yeah I know, that sucks.
And that sounds like a good deal!
I don't have the faintest idea how I'm suppose to sort payment with mine. I suppose I'll get it in the mail or something. ut that costs like an extra 30kr and I want to pay directly from the bank or whatever. I hate economy stuff >.

*sigh* Sometimes I wish I lived in the South. Everything seems better there (besides well... Karskrona having racists in their like... landsting or whatevs) and definitely more people and all. Up here you sort of grow familiar to everything and rarely see new faces or new things. :P You become sort of antisocial (lol, or at least I do :P)

Economics do suck :( Money always makes me paranoid :P

[pnr.livejournal.com]

ew yeah
but yup, more people. What is it, like 1 million people in Skåne?
You can get antisocial here too, just look at me! *hugs computer*


yeck, yeah.


now sleep, nighty
