Hi Bob, we had something similar happen. We have an ancient dumb phone, and accidentally got/were given a Vodafone bundle of data (lots) and minutes (few) when we topped up 10 euros. We didn't/couldn't use the data, and quickly used the few minutes and then had to top up again. We've found dialling ...

Maybe this shop has changed to Electronet? Their website shows a shop in Kolimbari. There's also a shop opposite the entrance to Jumbo in Chania. https://www.electronet.gr/stores We can recommend electronet. We looked online for a cooker, and went in to the Chania shop to order it, I think on a Wedn...

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. The latter, Warwick, breaking it down and making as much use of all the bits as possible. I've never seen a phone in electronic recycling bins, so wondered if they should go somewhere else.

Does anyone know where the Chania UPS office is? I got a bit lost with this thread - I know the courier south of Gogoni, but that's not UPS (is it?). Is UPS still near the bus station? The UPS site is hardly helpful, unless I'm missing something. Thanks.

Well said, Carol. Many thanks for providing this forum.
