I’ve made a couple of small tweaks to the sidebar of the blog.

Most notably, I’ve removed a couple of the news feeds and added a timezone section so we can see what time it is in Japan and vice versa.

No, no advice, other than to avoid that particular agency.

I just spoke to someone from 02 and they said you need to go to ‘connectivity’ and then ‘mobile network’ and then ‘search mode’ and then ‘manual’ (I think it was in that order but I may have got it jumbled) and then you select

DOCMO

as the network. This is the important bit. She said there should be twenty or so options.

Any problems, she said phone free on +447802410202 from your handset.

I tried to explain that if you had problems you wouldn’t be able to use your handset to phone …-

hail! phone still not working. don’t suppose you can call them dod and be a bit shirty as i told them i was going to japan when i accepted that contract and by all accounts on the website it should be working.

did al condescend to impart any useful tips? 🙂

will blog soon

I mentioned to a colleague of mine whose writing project ‘team’ I am on, and who you have spoken to on the phone a number of times, that you were in Japan, which he, of course, knows well, and he seemed surprised you hadn’t asked his advice. He also reminded me of that language teaching agency that went bust, asking if you had heard of it.

Here in France, it’s windy; but still sunny enough to be outside.

i tried that. i got a mail from them saying the lifted some restriction or something and it should work in a couple of days.

alls well here. the area i am in is a lot quieter than i expected for tokyo but very nice. going to explore a bit more of the city on the morrow

Try searching, manually and automatically. It worked for me. Let me know if you want me to phone 02.
