A Technical Question With A Moral Sidebar.
4 Answers
On Good Friday my Tesco mobile ceased to function - it would ring, but I couldn't receive calls. I took it in to my local Tesco, and the phone shop manager advised me that it was faulty and would have to go for repair, or - for the same charge - £7.50 a month, I could upgrade from my SIM-only contract to a two-year deal, and have a brand new phone, and keep my number.
I signed up, got my phone, and waited for the swap-over from my old phone to new.
Saturday night - my old phone suddenly works again, so I have no need of the new phone. I took it back, but because I hadn't kept the packaging, they would not accept it back.
So - it appears that my 'faulty' phone is OK, I am still paying the same money, and I have acquired a brand new Samsung mobile for nothing!
So mobile tech-heads - am I right in thinking that my old contract is still going, or even if it's the new one, I am paying no more money - so I have gained a new phone?
Morally, I feel uncomfortable, but I have attempted to return the phone without success, so do I just keep it?
Any advice / opinions welcome.
