You would have to return the phone, obviously, and you'd also have to pay for anything you've used (minutes, texts, data charges etc), but the company can't legally enforce the contract, assuming you signed less than 21 days ago. Trading Standards (number in the phone book, as they always say on those Watchdog-style programmes) will be able to advise you on what your rights are, and how to go about cancelling the contract (probably a recorded-delivery letter to the company's head office - it always is).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805716.post-33593167759286389932010-02-21T20:04:47.014+00:002010-02-21T20:04:47.014+00:00@TEFL Tradesentrance:

Fortunately there is some mov't towards standardizing to micro USB.</i><br /><br />So people are telling me. They never thought to mention it when I said I was looking for a new phone, only afterwards. Hmmm.<br /><br />Oh, and they sold me a duff SD card to go in it. I spent most of last night trying to make it work. So tomorrow: Get them to replace the card, and spend another GBP13 on a Samsung-only USB cable.<br /><br />That way at least it won't take half an hour to copy the latest Rachel Maddow show by bluetooth.Kapitanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647896216499813443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805716.post-48511946325752033422010-02-21T04:25:21.035+00:002010-02-21T04:25:21.035+00:00Samsung is notorious for its proprietary connectio...Samsung is notorious for its proprietary connections. Fortunately there is some mov't towards standardizing to micro USB. Samsung has a bad rap (at least here with Verizon) for having bad signal reception.<br /><br />I made a rapid transition from a simple phone that could only call and SMS/MMS to a full-blown smartphone (BlackBerry). I love it (although not the monthly plan costs). Resist Kapitano because suck you in!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127042364846361909noreply@blogger.com
