ouch.. that does sound like a "bit" of a cockup on thier side.. I know that
they're not very good, but the problem is that I'm after a good deal. I
might just go to O2 and get them to pricematch CPW . The question is,
should I try to get one soon or wait until the shopping craze will be over?
Also can I transfer my number to Virgin and then transfer it back to O2?
