Benalmadena expectations

By all accounts the registration process is going quite smoothly. Orange speeded up the process by voluntarily cancelling all cards that had not been used once in 12 months - that saved 500,000 phantom a/cs on their databases.

If anybody has any specific questions pls feel free to PM me.

I REPEAT this new registration process applies ONLY to PAYG (and NOT to contract) and ONLY those first sold BEFORE Nov 2008. All others have ALREADY been added to the central databases.

And for all you mortals who are not experts in this subject you should get a text from your operator asking you to come in and register!!!

AFAIK only Vodafone have advised their users so far. Movistar is far too busy spamming their base with dubious "Competitions" Mmmmmmmmm. The last figure I heard was that there were 8 million unregistered phones.

This really is the dumbest law I have ever seen. If it's meant to reduce/prevent crime, it's not well thought through at all. Any terrorist intent in causing destruction will surely be "clever" enough to walk into a locutorio and walk out with a 10 euro phone card to plan his criminal activities. No need to register, just unlock a phone (easily done over the internet) and away he goes. Pathetic legislation.

Hi Ross

Finding work is pretty tough for people that are already here .... so its going to be difficult finding it while you are still in the UK (Im assuming thats where you are now?) .... you could try looking through the employment ads in free papers such as the Sur in English, Euro Weekly News both have websites with some of the classifieds online.
Places to stay ... again sur in english has a rental section, but there are loads of rental websites you could look through -.... just google long term property rental / alquiler / for rent in benalmadena ... etc etc. But again its hard to find a place until you are actually here - what I would advise is NOT to pay any deposits are anything until you have seen the place! and until you have met the people, either agents and private landlords, face to face!

If you are looking for Hostal accomodation rather than rental apartments, again there are plenty around and if you google you should find something on the internet as a starting point.

Best of luck ! and pack your suncream its very very hot here !!
