Because petty grudges are the only thing worth keeping.



They made me wait for half an hour, then told me I didn't have enough identification. I drove home and came back again, but all 'twas no avail, because

FUCKING OPTUS WON'T LET ME HAVE A PHONE. Because I do temp work. Because I'm 20. Because I'm not so irresponsible as to have a credit card. I now cannot apply for a credit check for another three months. Three months without a phone?

FUCK OFF.


I'm going to go get a Virgin prepaid.


I drove home with the doors turned up so loud I think it made my eardrums bleed.


My ears are still ringing. UNLIKE MY PHONE.

optus are fucktards, they messed with me sooo much when I had them as my carrier...

if you want to go on a plan, go with vodafone, they're pretty darn good...though the credit check might still be a bitch :/

They're not going to give me a plan.

And both my mother and one of my friends were with Vodafone, and I don't think either were particularly overjoyed about it...

optus didn't have problems service-wise, but they fucked me around with my billing and overcharged me for about 4 months before i noticed, then only refunded half of what i was overcharged *shrug* so i left...

virgin were actually quite good, except coverage wasn't too crash hot in some areas, but then again, i DO live out in the sticks :/

*nods* As I primarily use my mobile in Melbourne CBD & surrounding environs, I may give Virgin a run for a while.

Yeah, even though I'm with Optus Pre-paid, I'd seriously advise you to go with Virgin. For one thing, I do know that Telstra and Optus have got a fucked up system where they will actually charge you flagfall for calling other phones, even when they don't even frekkin pick up. Still, without employment or a credit-check, I can't get a plan either. So I'll stick with prepaid for the moment. It also keeps me from spending too much each month.

good luck with it sweetie!
btw, having a credit card kinda sucks... so does having a plan... lol... it means you have to pay for it, even if you dont use it... if you have a prepaid i reckon you'd be better off!
