Free New Mobile Phone Number Help

[mafaso]

FYI......

The small phone shop next to Coffee World in Tesco will update your SIM card for you for free. They remove your SIM card and place it in a computer and then all your mobile phone numbers on your SIM card will have the new requisite 8 placed in the proper place. I don't think it matters what service you have (DTAC, etc.) I had about 50 phone numbers and it updated everything correctly.

Good info tip mafaso. I have over 100 numbers in my sim and was not looking forward to manually updating them all.

I just told my wife this but too late, she just did manual add 8 a few days back

So, off to Tesco Bloat-Us for me this Sat avo, eh?

Depends on your phone. Mine is a Sony Ericsson, and if I had it updated I would lose some of the information, (such as full names in my contacts list). If you have a simplified contacts list, it's OK. I could have had the numbers updated, but then I'd have to update the names. So I thought easier just to add in the extra "8" manually. The new number takes effect end of October, but I think a lot of people have not yet switched.
