Your grandparent(s) should ring your phone landline company for Support.

[EDIT 2]

 

Get them to ring there phone landline company from your house? Lol.

lol edit edit edit ok thanks ill tell them later but if anyone knows more that be good

I remeber reading (but can't find it) that support for some older models on one network was being withdrawn - can't remember which though.

 

 

 

Other than reseating the SIM (always worth a try), then it is either faulty, or one of the obsolete models that is now suspended. Also try the sim in another (unlocked) phone if possible, or try another SIM in the phone - look for cheap / free PAYG sims for the the same network, to be sure it's not locked against.

 

 

 

If Contract, should be possible to get a discounted/free upgrade.

for a website you need

 

1. a host - http://www.godaddy.com... not sure about it since your in the uk, a quick google search will find you a huge amount of them. if you want to go for a free host (eek!) expect slow load times, more ads, and lots of trouble! yahoo.com geocities and tripod.com are popular free hosts.

 

 

 

2. a domain, unless you want your website to be something like http://www.yoursite.yourhost.com, or dont care. http://www.dot[LikelyScam] offers free ones, but expect adverts on your site. im pretty sure yahoo.com has domains for sale, so check them out.

 

 

 

3. html knowledge, which hopefully you already have! :D html is actually pretty simple, and you dont need an expensive program to make the documents, good ol' microsoft notepad should suit you well for first-time site, unless you want to drop a good 200 pounds on macromedia dreamweaver. ive found that http://www.w3schools.com/ is a good source for leaning html

 

 

 

good luck :D
