Did you pay a sizeable deposit on an indecently expensive phone?
Alan writes:
I was going through old files and see when I bought an iphone/contract, 3 years ago, Vodafone made me pay 100 Euro as a deposit. Fair enough, as iPhones are expensive. However they never gave me back the money (or put it in my account). Literally they just pocketed it. So I emailed in early September with all the receipts etc. and STILL I am waiting for MY money back.
I wonder how many people have forgotten about ‘deposits on expensive phones’ and I wonder does Vodafone (or other operators) have a statistic on how profitable people’s forgetfulness can be?
Anyone?

Ever wonder how many phone shops there are on Moore St? No? Me neither… but I still went out and took a photo of every single phone shop on Moore Street. Small street – loadsa phone shops. What gives?

Found by a researcher in the Pathe vaults, this clip from 1922 shows that 90 years ago, mobile phone technology and music on the move was not only being thought of but actually being trialled.
