thirtynine. Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 This is some new mobile provider for 16 - 24 year olds, and from what i can see it looks pretty good, you get 43 mins and 217 texts a month for free, and all you have to do is recive some (albeit annoying) adverts via MMS to your phone, I have ordered a sim card as it will be good for emergencys. http://www.blyk.co.uk/ (wasnt sure weather to put this in here or in the Trades/Bargins board so move if you see fit.)

thirtynine. Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Gay. Will be a massive flop. Please state why. Also if it flops i will have gotten a few months of free calls/texts so i dont mind, apparently the CEO of blyk is the co founder of t-mobile so im pretty sure he knows what he is doing. (however i didnt check that out i just heard it from one of there reps so it could be bull) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you need one for in the sign up process? As that seems totally random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I like the osound, ordering a sim card, may aswell try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yep, to verify your age (between 16 and 24). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Links to evedence of this.I dont see why everyone is so down on the idea, its a solid prospect being handled by more than experienced people. I can't be arsed to search, but it definitely has been done and has failed every single time. If you are so interested then im sure you can find the info. On a plus note, this does sound more promising than normal. They've laid down strict limits which might well save them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtynine. Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 The only one i can think of is smart ads for the Gizmondo but that failed due to it never being implimented (and being on the gizmondo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Gay. Will be a massive flop. You really shouldn't be using that word to describe a situation or service. Some people may find it offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Gay. Will be a massive flop. Yes, because a mobile phone service can have a sexual orientation. If you want to say it's stupid, or it sucks, say that. To be honest, I'm not really offended, I just want to warn you because using such language reflects really badly upon you.

weeyellowbloke Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sounds good, other than the fact that the name sounds a bit like a South African saying "black", which for obvious reasons is probably not the best idea for a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres more than one meaning to that word though, and it ain't clear which he is using (due to none making any sense). Anyone who takes offence is over-reacting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalin Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hello, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5049566.stm The BBC think it's OK and they're usually right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hello, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5049566.stm The BBC think it's OK and they're usually right. Yes. The point is Chris Moyles is an asshole. So I suppose it's kind of expected. I'm genuinely saying this as advice: Using language like that is doing yourself no favours.

Paj! Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Same as me calling the idea, "Black" or "Asian". Or worse, a slang swear version of those. Thankfully, i'm not a racist. ------ Sounds good/I haven't topped up my phone for like 3 months or something. I have no money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Well that's coming from a caucasian person (me). Of course it applies ot every race, I was just using 2 examples. I think it'd be unlikely that a homosexual person will use "gay" as an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
