When wifey landed in Oct she got herself a phone on a 36 month contract from Bell, a lovely little pink number which plays a jingly little tune.

Very nice you might say...

Until her boss gave her a company phone so muggins here has inherited the little pink pixie phone

I've spoken to Bell who say it's 2 years before they'll offer an upgrade and until then my only option is to buy a new Bell phone (they don't use sim cards) and get the account switched to it. Annoyingly, the cheapest phone they do is the little pink one (which I could get in Blue) but it'll cost me over $100.

Any thoughts?

PS On a side note, if i get free local calls can I call the 1 877 number on my international calling card free? I thought local for Toronto was 416.

Buy a cover for $30

They don't sell covers that cover it when it's in use (it's a samsung flip phone) and when it's not being used it's in my pocket anyway. I guess I'm just going to have to get in touch with my feminine side

Sure they do...

Whatabout the universal ones in a pinch?

Thanks for looking, I spent a bit of time wandering down Yonge St looking for a case the only ones they make for the A580 are the generic ones which make it look like it's wearing a G-string. We were in stitches because I didn't believe the phone could've looked more camp until we tried it in one.

Good question re the phone card. If I use an international phone card on my cell, will I be charged even though the call would be free on a land line?

Go into Bell and kick up a massive stink. The worst that can happen is you are escorted from the store with your pink phone.

Yes you will, but not as much as if you were calling internationally on your cell I suspect.

At the risk of plagarising Mick and the boys.... Paint it Black?
