Hello everyone,

this morning I took delivery of my new Owasys 22C mobile phone.  My
excitement soon diminished when I discovered there were no Braille
instructions included and the CD provided is completely unreadable.  In
fact, the message came up saying the disc was not formatted and was asking
if I wished to proceed.  I called RNIB customer Services asking what was
going on and was bluntly told I was lucky to have waited 12 days as some
have been waiting for 3 months.  I said I didn't mind how long I had to
wait so long as accessible documentation was included, and when I purchased
the phone on 1 April I was told Braille instructions would be sent.

On top of this, I am having trouble accessing our T-Mobile network.  I am
using the SIM card from our old Nokia 3310 and I cannot call out from the
phone, although I can receive calls.  When I try to call our voicemail
service, the phone locks up and I have to remove the battery.  Upon
switching on again I receive a network text message, and as soon as I
accept it the phone reboots.  after that I cannot call any numbers.

I phoned RNIB again and asked if it is possible the phone is locked to
Vodafone.  the person who is dealing with the Owasys phones wasn't
available, so the lady I spoke to made a note of my problem and said she
will call me tomorrow.  Maybe there is a fault with my phone.  Is anyone on
the list having similar problems with the Owasys phone and is on T-Mobile?

apart from all this hassle, I like the phone, and thanks to my wife Moray
reading some of the user guide and me exploring the menus, I am quite
comfortable with the functions.  I hope something can be sorted, even if it
means me returning the phone for a replacement.

Best wishes,

Clive Pallett
