#BlogLife761 - Upgrade no go

Afternoony all. How are you? I'm kinda fed up, the one highlight I was looking forward too, just crashed and burned.

I didn't get a callback from the super helpful EE representative that gave me a discount on my broadband and landline bundle.

I spoke to someone that wasn't open towards a single offer. Very by the book and not what I was looking for.

Just to remind you, I'm currently paying £19 a month for my phone plan, the first offer was to pay £44 a month.

No way in hell! Today when I rang up, it went down to £37 but still basically double what I pay now.

I don't think so!! For once they had all the colours for the A15, I'm surprised, black, blue and yellow.

I would have gone for the blue shade but not at that price. I'm not sure what to do now.

The wfi calling seems alright although still dropping calls and the reception is iffy.

The problem is, if I switch to another network, my reception is much much worse.

BT and EE were the best options for me, so I would rather stay and my contract is up next month officially.

I guess I could stroll into an EE store and ask about any deals but I don't like doing that, they are very cold and pushy.

For now I'm not going to do anything, except pretend I'm leaving them. although eventually, I might actually have to do that...... Yikes!

Ugh long day, I even forgot about blogging as I spent the day on the phone, trying to get various information and noone was available grr.

I chased up the Optician and she said she would ask him about why only got 1 lens, as usual they were supposed to call me back.

Did they? Nopeee. Then I have to pop out Friday so might get some choccies as that is what I'm craving.

I don't know why this lens is so uncomfortable but it is. Maybe it's not wearing them for a few months.

I feel like I'm seeing worse, than when I was wearing the glasses.

Looking forward to unwinding this weekend where I will put it all behind me.

My hair grew out again, so I just cut it short. I hated that it was heating up my neck during this horrid heatwave.

I feel more put together now. No contact from my Optician so still struggling with my eyesight, ugh.

I just washed my hair and keep forgetting to use the hair oil at Mama's but at least I look neater again.

I knew I was due to upgrade from EE at the end of the year but I wasn't sure exactly when so thought while I'm up early I would call up.

She was really helpful, the representative, at first I thought they had scrapped the customer service as it was texting, but then there was a link and maybe within 10 minutes they answered.

Anyway she said my broadband was out of contract and wanted me to switch over to EE as it's still officially with BT even though they claim to have merged.

Pfft but apparently my broadband isn't fast enough for them ha.

I don't care as long as it works, it's fine for me, except during stormy weather when it breaks up a lot.

She renewed it and gave me a discount which I typically get at this time.

It's not much but I'm happy to be saving a fiver, each month. As for the mobile, at the moment it's just under £19.

Hmm didn't realise it was that much but I guess it's alright. I just am not prepared to pay anything higher.

She said officially my upgrade is October but I could do it early with no cost.

But the lowest quote she gave was £44 and I thought, there is no way I am paying double the amount, nopity nope.

She recommended two phones, the Samsung A15 and the AO5s.

I have to say she was pretty thorough and patient with the questions I had.

I forgot to ask her what colours they came in, typically it's boring black.

Pity they didn't seem to have the OnePlus phones, like last time.

Anyway after deliberating she said the A15 was more suitable for me.

And I typically never have a phone in mine. I would rather not pay towards a new handset.

In the end she said, I should wait until the 24th September where I would have more options and flexibility and she could help me more.

So that's what is supposed to happen, a callback. I don't have much luck with those but I'll give her a chance.

I don't actually need a new phone but free is free and I will take full advantage, where possible.

I should sell the old phones but I can't be bothered.
