I want my privacy compromised at times.

Unfortunately last weekend I lost my phone. This is rather annoying for many reasons including have to get a new mobile, new sim cards and try and track down people's phone numbers. I had assumed my contacts could be recovered on my sim as this has happened to some of my friends before. So for this reason I had been saving contacts to my sim card and had not bothered to back them up.

Turns out Vodafone have changed their privacy policies since my friends had their sims replaced. Vodafone and 2degrees no longer store your contact details to my annoyance. As I was in the process of getting a new sim card I suggested that you should be able to choose whether they save your contacts or not. This way if you're like me and silly enough to mislay your phone, you don't need to go through the arduous ordeal of trying to restore your phone and contacts. This is because they will be already waiting for you.
