I went to get a contract phone in Amsterdam this evening (late night shopping today) at T Mobile. They asked for ID, so I showed my UK passport, my registration with the Municipality, my Dutch bank account confirmation, employment contract...
They said they had certain countries on a list, which meant they had to fax a copy to a central office for it to be checked to be authentic. The guy said 'like Ghana, the Uk....'
For fecks sake, I can enter the country, get a job, open a bank account and get a credit card with it, but can't get a mobile phone. Sigh.
