You get what you pay for

Having lost my phone while bike riding, I went to my nearest Telstra Shop to see what could be done.

$600- to break my contract.

Yikes.

The nice fellow at the store got them down to $300.

Still yikes.

Granted, I was only about five months in to my contract, but still. I have been a customer of Telstra for over 10 years: you'd think some good will may come into it.

Anyway, as I am not made of money I decided to buy a cheap phone outright. This one. A phone is a phone, but I must say from this one it is a bit of a step down. And rather frustrating to use. Oh well, serves me right for losing my old one.

And if that is the worse I have to worry about, I suppose life isn't that bad.
