Geek cred? Gone. (plus some questions)
Written by Cameron on March 26th, 2009So for a few months now the headphones on my iPhone have not been working properly… music comes out of them but I can’t use the line mic that was included with them. I imagined all sorts of problems, faults with the wireing, faults with the button etc etc… what I didn’t do was look it up online or drop by Vodafone (or mention it to my buddy Dean or his lovely wife Veronica, when I was up in Wellington. You know, the couple who worked at a premium Mac retailer).
So it finally bugged me enough to drop by the Vodafone store.. the nice man there (HI AARON!) said “oh, it’s probably lint and proceeded to pick out a huge piece from the headphone jack. He gave it to me and said “there you can go home and make a jersey”. Works like new.
Which brings me to two questions:
- Why is vodafone’s instore and email help so good when their telephone support is such utter complete crap?
- Why don’t cases for the iPhone ship with a little flap to cover the headphone jack?
