Phone Hassles Escalate

We have improved the phone situation a little but the problem isn't fully solved.  Trish has her phone up and running now but it is highly likely she has 'lost' her mobile number. We have one last hope and the guy was due to ring back at 1pm today for a final try.  It is now 3:15 and we haven't had the return call.

It appears you cannot 'port' a number if that number has been disconnected.  Trish's phone was meant to be disconnected today, 7 days after her second Telstra SMS message. Her phone was disconnected on Monday!  Telstra/Boost believe it was Kogan which disconnected it, we believe it was more likely Boost as they attempted a 'work around'.

So right now don't bother ringing Trish on 0409948604 because you will be told it is disconnected.  She can take a call on 0487769293 at the moment.  We were requested to get a third SIM card today for the final attempt.  If that doesn't work her mobile number may finish up be 0455331169 (but only if we ever get that call due at 1 pm today).

What a mess!  Fortunately my phone is working perfectly!

We are in Melbourne and it is cold.  I have 3 layers of heavy clothing on and another two layers to climb into prior to heading to the MCG tonight for Hawthorn V Sydney.  Tomorrow's two games will be enjoyed in front of the TV at Kim's place.  I expect to rug up again on Sunday afternoon for Richmond vs Carlton when I again head into the MCG.

We have extensive baby sitting to do Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings as both Kate and Arj are heavily involved with the School "production".  I may have thawed out by then though!

Right now it is around 10 degrees and it is mid afternoon!

I have just received an email from Kogan saying Trish's number is safe for the next 180 days!  Another email indicates my refund from Kogan has been processed and is due back in our account in the next week or so!
