Your advertisement claimed that the phone could send text messages, but when I tried (3) to use this feature / to send a message to my best friend,
it didn't work. In addition, there was no memory, so I was unable to save numbers.

two weeks ago / That was ages ago and I am still waiting for a new phone. Since then I have received a bill for the few calls I made, although the

•I would appreciate it / It would be great if you could send me either a replacement phone in the correct colour or a full refund as soon as possible.
