My hubs is well known for going after the newest phone..Of cuz with iPhone 5 coming to our shores tmr, how can he pass up the chance of buying at the 1st chance he had?
He had register his interest with both Singtel & M1, making me register my interest too as my contract is free to recontract already. Didnt want to lose any chance of laying his hand on the phone you see..
Yesterday, Singtel opened their appointment booking at 10pm sharp, and only those who had registered their interest gets an invitation email to book an appt to buy the phone. Its double work in my opinion. If you had registered your interest, obviously you wanna buy rite?Why the need to log in again to book an appt? Waste of time. Anyways, I think its their way of marketing, so if wanna buy, bo bian..
So, at 10pm, hubs enlisted my help to try log on to the booking system. PC, lappie, iPad, iPhones, every gadget tat can log on to the net, we used to try to get into the system, some using our home internet, some using our phone data, hoping to get lucky.
We managed to get into the system once, but was boot out for no reason at some point while moving on to the next page. Hubs nearly flipped. Tried again for the next half hr with me giving up, and him continuing refreshing the pages on the various gadgets.
He managed to get a slot in the end, though not his ideal model, but then he is finally able to secure phone purchase on both fri & sat nite and I am suppose to acc him to MBS to collect the phone in midst of the F1 race going on there. Man, its gonna be so crowded..
Its gonna be a busy wkend of us..
