YouGetItBack works for Steve of The Hot Aisle

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

The last time I bumped into Steve, founder of The Hot Aisle IT Operations news site, I noticed he had one of those YouGetItBack stickers on his Nokia N95 8GB.

Good thing he did. He left it in a taxi recently:

I didn’t even register that I had lost it until I got an email from You Get It Back a truly fantastic company founded on the principle that most people are honest. I stuck a You Get It Back sticker on my Nokia a few months ago after I got a free sample, the sticker has a simple message - Reward for Return and a freephone number.

You can read more about Steve’s experience here.

I have, perhaps, been operating on a far more cynical viewpoint than is necessary. Maybe if I had YouGetItBack stickers, I’d have had a lot more of my handsets returned?

Steve’s just ordered a job lot.

I think I might get some too.

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

How stupid is that? Vodafone Passport works in Japan but NOT the United States?

Ridiculous. Vodafone you really need to sort this out.

My Sprint Samsung ACE works on Vodafone UK

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I can’t tell you how pleased I am that my newest handset purchase — the Samsung ACE from Sprint — works perfectly fine on Vodafone UK. It’s a CDMA/GSM handset — which is why I bought it — only to find out that I didn’t have the right account settings in order to use it abroad.

Phew.

It was looking like a totally wasted purchase. But they haven’t locked it, it seems.

That’ll do nicely.
