As my dual SIM Android phone is playing up (the screen lock/power button is not working; I suspect this is repairable but its a really fiddly thing to deal with) I put the giffgaff SIM into an old Sony Ericsson K800i (which TBH is more usable and reliable than many new smartphones).
And this happened I wouldn’t usually set my phone menus into German (it is more difficult than Dutch); and it is clearly picking up the default language from the SIM card :crazy_diz.
Not a disaster as I can still understand it and I wanted to improve my German anyway (the phone still has a UK dialplan, call rates etc) but a strange thing for the mobile company to do! Furthermore, this SIM had already been activated and used in other devices and not shown German menus. Maybe the marketing bosses genuinely think “anyone who would keeps putting those SIMS into such obsolete kit (that everyone else would have put into the WEEE container or sent off to be sold in some African countries) has to be some sort of “German” :laugh_at:
