Samsung Galaxy 550

So I went and got myself a new phone, I really want an IPhone, but really can’t justify spending that much!

So I got a Samsung Galaxy 550 on Telecom, my main reasons for choosing it are that it has Wifi, is touch screen and is a smartphone.

So I thought i’d post the issues I had just in case someone else has the same issue, I googled everything I could think of and didn’t come up with anything!

I put my sim card in and it just kept saying no service and not letting me text or call. So after a chat on the telecom website, phone call to the telecom people then going into the store it turns out my phone came from the store switched onto 2g so it was only picking up vodafone, they switched it to 3g and it picked up telecom and Voila it worked!

Very simple fix, I’m really happy with this phone so far, just need to work out how to get data bundles so I can use the interwebs on it! And transfer over my contacts, did you know telecom charge $15 to change over your contacts???!

Lesson learn’t – save contacts to your sim card if you have the option! But its a chance to get rid of numbers I never text or call!

Have you got the same or similar phone? How have you found it? What are your favourite android apps?
