3 prizes for Irish readers.

3 have kindly donated these 3 prizes
These are available to Irish commentators only
You will get a free 3 mobile broadband dongle and you just need to sign up for service.
Fair play to 3, the only Irish carrier to return my emails.

As usual, just leave a comment and you are in
Please note this prize is only for Irish readers, as always please help out Jack and Jill below.
The winners are Dave Rooney, John Keyes and Justin Mason
So what do I want?
Nothing, Nada, just leave a comment and I will have an independent friend run all comments through a randomizer, one the commentators will get the prize.
Please though if you have a bunch of phones hanging around why not donate them to the Jack & Jill foundation, they do amazing work and everyone has a bunch of old phones somewhere.

63 comments...What do you think?

On the third day of christmas Pat Phelan gave to me a broadband dongle from 3!

Hows that I am getting good at these rhymes!

Pat,

I could try and get the test phones from work out of the office, but I might get slapped for that!

I’m telling ya. I always knew it: Santa is a Cork man

Happy Christmas Pat.

What does it take to be first to comment on Santa Pats site

I’m in lads!
Posted by Gav 15th December, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Entry please? No broadband in Meath for Christmas so one of these’d be great!

Emptied the contents of my ‘phone box’ this morning - need more envelopes!

I’ll give this one a shot seeing as I missed out on the first two… and just to agree with the Jack & Jill Foundation thing, we give all our old phones to them at work, reckon they’ve had maybe 20 phones from our office this year!
Posted by Jonathan 15th December, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Whoa, 3 prizes in 3 days. It’s a bonanza!

Third time unlucky? Probably
Posted by Susan 16th December, 2008 at 12:41 am
What a sweet thing to do! By a nifty coincidence we just dropped 3 phones into the Jack and Jill bin at the chemist’s. Great cause.
Posted by Thomas Geraghty 16th December, 2008 at 1:22 am

I could use a prize. But I don’t need one. : )
Posted by David Behan 16th December, 2008 at 4:58 am
I’m looking at 3 phones lying around my office that I need to recycle - good reminder to get them to Jack & Jill.

Posted by ronanob 16th December, 2008 at 3:33 pm
What am i missing here - Vodafone give these away for free when you sign up too?

(Scratches head and looks confused)
Posted by Shane Mc Allister 16th December, 2008 at 3:47 pm
All phones should end up in Jack and Jill - they do great work. However, for anyone who has an old phone, particularly with Bluetooth, they can help charity and start-ups (sort of charity too ;-0 ) - I promise to collect it from them, test the bejaysus out of the bluetoothy part of it and then send it winging up to jack and jill…so everyone wins!

This keeps getting better everyday!
