    Phoned up for an upgrade today after they e mailed me 10 times saying it
    was due.

    problem one is their bloody menu system, 'press 2 to go to some
    fool--press 3 to get though to an idiot' doesn't work on touch screen
    phones.

    When I get though I'm told by the (anal) retention department 'we can't
    offer any more 12 month contracts as we have been told by the government
    it will increase the carbon foot print to much'

    Ask to get transferred to 'bye bye O2' department, oops sorry our
    computers are down you can't leave yet, phone back in an hour.

    I also tell them about the touch scree/menu problem and I'm told some
    rubbish about they only sell the phones they are given etc, seems they
    do not understand the simplest of things.

    So all you PAYG users, it's YOU that is killing this planet. STOP IT NOW.

    Works on my iPhone. Get a proper phone which lets you send touch
    tones during a call or find where the menu lives.

    Everything I write is merely my personal opinion - it's not fact unless
    I claim it to be, and it's not verified unless I quote a source for it.

    Xda Stella, did use the on-screen keypad, thats all there is.


    But anyway thats not the main issue I have. This bollox about the
    'carbon foot print' to over sell you a contract for 18 months gets me.

    Which is total crap. Its just so they can say to some dodgy bank 'we
    have X amount of income over the next 18 months via Y amount of 18 month
    contracts, please lend us some money through one of your rip off
    schemes. Then we can all go bust.

    Ho hum, time to go shopping again.

    The XDA Orbit can be configured to pass DTMF tones from the keypad. I
    assume the Stellar is the same.

    Can you get that in writing from them? If so, it has to be the worst example
    of self-serving greenwash I've ever seen. I'm sure the tech press would
    love to do a story about it.
