I am starting to wonder if it's something I am doing wrong, but I can't work out why
Recently I got a Nokia brand new phone from 02 it's a basic cheap model a 5070 because I hardly ever use it I didn't think it worthwhile buying a real expensive one, after all I only want it for texting and for taking in the car in case of emergencies, break down etc...
But when I got my first phone whenever I tried to make a call, all these 6's came up on the screen! It was weird, no matter how I held the handset the same thing happened
I took it back and fortunately I was able to prove to the guy what was happening and he happily changed it and said he had never seen that happen before.
Well I got a brand new one and the same thing is happening again, but when I took it back it didn't happen when the guy tried it I think he thought I was trying it on or having a laugh with him
Please tell me I am NOT mad why or is there a reason I keep getting the number 6 keep coming up on the display every time I make a call and receive a call.
It can't be me surely and for it to happen TWICE??????????
Oh and it's more than 3 that come up just in case you are wondering!
I can maybe understand one phone going wrong but TWO? Seems mad eh....

Drat you thwarted my 666 remarks before i could even get them out - now you have a mind reading machine as well as a webcam in my house huh? I would tell you you aren't mad but why should I be the only mad one? You know sweets sometimes when there is a fault on an electrical item and it has made it out of the factory there are a batch of them that go out and it is very likely that quite a high percentage of that batch would end up in the same shop! I know this for a fact as i used to work in electronics, buiding and debugging computer workstations and I have seen this type of thing happening! xxx

That is the oddest thing I have heard of. 1 phone ---- ok… but both of them.. that is odd. I would be turning in those phones and switching brands! Could be telling you something. I’m glad it isn’t just 3 6’s… that would be freaky!

Sounds like the devils been calling you!
Seriously though i got my 15 year old daughter a new phone for her birthday it had to go back because when he dialed she dialed 9 it came up as 8 and 8 came up as 6 it was weird and it wasn't a cheap phone the replacement worked ok!
I would take it back and show them what happens when you dial, good luck x

It certainly is a bit weird and sixes too, I would not like that, not sixes even though you are getting more than 3! I have a cordless house phone, its relatively new and just lately at least once or twice a week it takes it upon itself to dial up 7 stars, all on its own. It does it when me and my daughter have just come back in from taking the boys to school and she is only 2, but we both look at each other and absolutely cack our pants. It just sounds like someone lifts the phone out of the cradle and dials these 7 stars! It is very bizarre though, your second phone and it happens again, maybe someone is trying to tell you something.....

I have this problem with watches, not 6's just that they don't ever tell the correct time on me, they are stop completely, go really fast or just decide to work as and when they want, perhaps you are the same with Nokia phones! Then again it may be a faulty batch and the guy in the shop got the majority of them. Strange eh! Ellie :D
