Hi Eleanor I had given up on 195, but you've given me incentive to persist with the service on Vodafone. Cheers Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2010 10:45 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: BT 195 on my mobile Well that is very disappointing to hear Barry. I did have to insist and persist initially granted but I felt it was in my best interest to do so. OK if I am near a land-line but I could often require a number when out and about. Will give feedback re my request for the Vodafone pay as you go or whatever it is called. Great service to have.
