Title: Hello From "Sunny" UK - "maxmix"
Post by: maxmix on January 13, 2013, 02:26:43 PM
Hi Guys,

Hello from a sunny (OK, I'm dreaming about that bit....) U.K, more specifically London.

Have just brought my First Two tone grey GPO706,

(http://s7.postimage.org/61zbkj9uf/DSC08031.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/61zbkj9uf/)

and was looking around for tips on bringing it  (and it's soon to arrive Green cousin) back to its former glory, when I stumbled across this forum.

Looking forward to being a part of this forum

Welcome maxmix. Its snowing in the Northwest UK at the moment though it was sunny earlier ;) You will find as much info here as you will ever need to get your phones working and pristine - be warned, though. You will find that 2 phones are not enough....

It's been snowing up here in't North East too (Co. Durham), not a lot, looks like about an inch or so, but they're predicting the next three days will be just snow snow snow...  :D

Good job I fixed my satellite dish beforehand today though, would have been a horrid job doing that in the snow... :o

Will do David, The Green Phone may actually be in better condition than the grey, which was supposedly in near mint condition....... any way guys, thanks for the welcome ;D
