CPW don't do Voda so she left with the promise of the same deal on Orange. Good sales move.<br><br>The very nice sales manager (CPW Hertford - giver her a bonus) filled out all the credit reference details on screen (CPW version of course). I had brought along passport and two utility bills which were waved aside as all I needed was my credit card. Great, apart from I can never ever remember the number. Half an hour later and back with the code I waited expectantly for the £1 fee to go through. Declined. Ahh. Try again. Declined. Watch screen. PIN OK. Declined. Drat. Then CPW credit check said OK. <br><br>How does that work? My address is OK, but my credit card company declines the transaction (though I have credit left)?<br><br>Whole process took 10 minutes + half hour messing around in the car.<br><br>No matter. Looking forward to a bit of iPhone 3G magic.TimboSat, 12 Jul 2008 14:17:22 -0000
