QUESTION: my p168c seems to only charge when turned off when i turn on whilst chargin it turns off again???? also it takes hours to charge is this normal for these phones

Answer
i hate to give you an answer you've already heard, but since that phone isn't specific to any company it's tough to say what it's suppossed to do.  If possible i would return it and give a apple a call to get a phone that works in the uk, as they do that now.  not sure if you have apple retail store in the uk.  there's just too many issues with those phones, that you will have to deal with over time.

I can easily answer basic questions as well as in depth questions. I can also direct you to the carrier that best suits your needs not theirs.

I want to try and bridge the gap between carriers and customers in regards to the lack of customer service that seems to be dragging the industry down.
