public service announcement

Yesterday, 30 June 2011, my subscriber identity module (SIM) card was damaged. Partly from old age, as the SIM has been with me for over 8 years, and partly from carelessness on my part. I requested a replacement from Globe Telecoms (yes, that gleaming beacon of efficient customer service and after-sales support), and they obliged with speedy and swift action (two hours waiting time, and the actual replacement only took about 5 minutes tops).

Suffice to say, I now have a new SIM card, which has the same old number. However, the greater damage is they were unable to salvage the data of the old one, thus leaving me with not a single contact in the new-old SIM. So, if you have my number, please let me know yours (and who you are, of course), so I may, not update, but rather rebuild piecewise and glacially my contact list/ phonebook. I would really appreciate this in a major, major way. Thanks.
