Ray - I don't know that contract you're on, but on Pay as you talk, I do get charge for accessing my voice mail, just wanted to be clear about that as Carol might well be considering PAYT as well as contract - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 10:18 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: LOOKING TO CHANGE MY MOBILE PHONE PROVIDER | Carol, not much to say about T-Mobile, who I am with, as I'm not a | demanding or sophisticated mobile phone user. | | Basically, I get a contract for £11.00 a month with free calls between | 7:00pm and 7a.m to local numbers and two hours free national calls | per month. I don't know how much extra I'd have to pay for texts as I | cannot send them at the moment on that tarrif. One thing I would say | that is, if voice mail is important to you, then it doesn't cost | anything to access with T-Mobile, although I believe the caller pays | quite heavily for it. | | T-Mobile's website is quite good, but not used customer support much | lately so had better not comment. | | Coverage of the network does leave something to be desired - unless my | phone isn't particularly sensitive. | | All this said, I've been with them for something like ten years now, | and unless my phone usage changes radically I'm not likely to change | any time soon. | | Cheers, | | From Ray | I can be contacted off-list at: | mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx | | | -----Original Message----- | James Scholes | Subject: [access-uk] Re: LOOKING TO CHANGE MY MOBILE PHONE PROVIDER | | | Vodafone, in my experience is the best.
