Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

Argggh a silly question to some, probably, but has anyone worked out how to switch off the predictive text and put it on to abc? Its totally doing my head in lol

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

Have you err read the manual?

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

yep done that lol, nothing in it to explain how to do it, just says it can be done.

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

No idea as they wont let me have one ;)

Have you tried ringing them :)

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

After how long it took me to get through to get the phone in the first place Im hoping to avoid that option!

Interesting that so many are saying they are being turned down on credit check, wonder if its more that the popularity has surpassed the supplies

:welcome:
put it this way, it better not be, as every single credit check gets placed on your credit file, and if to many appear in a given time than that effects your credit in a big way, send the £2 for your credit file and find out if NTL:tw are responsible for these credit failures.

if its proven your being failed because they cant keep up then theres a BIG legal problem comeing their way....

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

If you failed a credit check with Virgin, I'm not sure how that can ben NTL:Telewest's fault?
If you did fail a credit check, it might be a better course of action to check your details with one of the credit reference agencies like Experian.

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

what do you think iv been saying, of course check your credit file at all 3 of the CRA's, and perhaps your 'how can that be ntls fault' will be answered.:rolleyes:

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

sussed it whoopeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone

BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION PLEASE!!!

HOW does one turn off that bloomin predictive text to normal ABC?

Any help appreciated

I'm a newbie & this is my first posting!

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

I would presume that when typing out a message you will have some 'options' button where predictive text or t9 will be turn offable :)

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

right, anyone else stuck with it here goes.

open messages as if your going to write a message. depress the # key for 2-3 seconds and it will change to ABC voila!;) You will need to do this every time you write a message.

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

Oh the whole what do you think of the phone is it ok?

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

its my daughters, shes 12 and thinks shes the Bees knees with it lol. Its worth purchasing the data cord with it tho

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

Bleh, Nokias come with it as standard now, others should follow

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

I've had one sent to me - seeing as its free what the hell? ;)

It's okay, its nothing to get excited about. It's obviously nowhere near close as my Samsung. It's not for the Mobile fashion guru's. It's more of a 'yesterday' mobile.

But if all you care about is being able to make and receive calls, send SMS and MMS messages and want to be able to take photo's or record a video clip, play Java games - It's got one game (Ball). Then you may like this phone. Comes in two colours, pink or black. (Obviously mines black :cool: ).
It's also quite small and light, which is what I'd say is the only outstanding feature of the phone. :)

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

Sorry to tell you Mick and I am sure you will be disappointed to know that they ran out of pink ones. not that I could get one any way ;)

Sounds like the phone would have been fine for me, all I use mine for is to text and make calls, never use Bluetooth etc

Re: Lobster 575 virgin phone
 

Not disappointed at all Jules... ;)

Got a pic of both colours....
