Hi Alex

I am a Pay-As-You-Talk customer with Vodafone because I don't want a contract.  
This scenario works well for me, as I buy text bundles because I text a lot 
more frequently than I talk on the mobile.  With Vodafone, you can buy 70 texts 
for £5, 200 for £10, 500 for £15, and 675 for £20.  They offer similar voice 
packs for minutes too.  They offer Any Net and Any Time price plans, and you 
can call 2345 free of charge at any time to top up or buy voice and text 
bundles.

Hope that gives you an idea of what to expect if you opt for the Vodafone 
Pay-As-You-Talk tariffs.

Jackie

  I just might contact you some time this year Steve, as my contract runs out 
on my N70 with vodafone.  I'd like to continue with them if I can, but they can 
be a pain to do business with: I know (large sigh).  I think I would like to 
try a pay as you talk package next time, I believe it would probably be cheaper 
for me.

  All the best

  Hi Steve

  I've altered all my mobile numbers in my phone following your suggestion, 
thanks very much indeed.  It seems you are a mobile phone anorak.  Great stuff!

  Hi Jackie,

  This is a simple one, and one I recommend everyone should follow.  Let me 
explain.

  My business mobile is 07956334938.  OK, now when you add me as a contact, 
instead of adding me as 07956334938, add me as +447956334938.  Firstly, this 
will always get picked up when you receive a text, because when the number 
comes through from the mobile carrier, it comes through in that format, and 
secondly, it means that you can dial that number from anywhere in the world, 
without altering it.  For example, when you go abroad, you can still dial that 
number.  So drop the 0 in your contacts, and add +44 instead.  Works every time.

  And for those that don't have their punctuation switched on, there is a plus 
symbol before the 44.  To get that into your contacts, press star twice.

  Hope this helps.

  All the best

  Steve

  Hi Listers

  Could someone please answer a quick question for me which I am posting on 
behalf of a friend.

  He has a Nokia 6600, and it seems that although he has added people to his 
contacts book in the usual way, whenever messages arrive in his inbox from 
them, TALKS is not telling him their names.  He has been into the menu to check 
that first names are announced in his preferred order, but he is completely 
baffled as to why the texts he gets do not say the names of his recipients.  
Frankly I can't work this out either.  Does anyone have any ideas please?  Is 
it possible he has his display set incorrectly or something?

  Jackie
