This must be the worst day ever. I woke up, face down on some sofa with sunlight burning into my red eyes, sore from the night before. My head's hammering, my stomach twisting into a knot a scout would be proud of and I feel dirtier than a prostitute on pay day. The already daunting prospect of a walk home made worse by the fact I'd lost my sodding phone the night before, in Moonlighting, Soho.
I'm roughly 4-5 months into an 18 month contract with Vodafone, with what used to be a Sony-Eriksson k800i. Is there anything I can do to the nice people at Vodafone to get a replacement, or at least a cheaper second phone? It's the second phone I've lost in 4 months, and I'm starting to regret not having insurance.... However, last time I did have insurance they refused to cover me on some stupid grounds or other!

Walrus, after your drink driving episode I would have thought you may have grown up a little.
Janaage is spot on, its a phone, get over it.

those 18 month contracts are bad news, i've been stuck with the world's shittest phone for a year now and have another 6 months left. the battery lasts 3 hours if i'm lucky and i would get a better reception from one of the 1st generation bricks where you have to pull the aerial out to get a signal.
the clock works on it though, which is nice.

What am I supposed to do? Stop drinking? These things happen, I was just asking for possible ways of talking Vodafone into giving me a cheapish phone....
Yeh 18 month contracts are a nightmare, I didn't really think about it when I signed up - mainly as I signed up in a hurry after losing my previous phone at a gig...! What new phone should I go for? Had the Sony Eriksson k800i which was okay.... Looking at k750i as it seems to have a better camera. Budget of around a ton...?

I used to work at Vodafone. depending on the length of the contract and how much money you spend, depends on what you get. If you are what they call a "high value customer" ie. spending loads of money they will look to sort you out with a decent (not fantastic) phone normally a refurbished handset.
Otherwise I would say you are going elsewhere and put yourself on the smallest tarrif.
