Hi Eleanor, You mean 30 x 160, not 170. 160 is the limit. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: Saturday 8 November 2008 17:05 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: \MOBILE aNNOUNCING cAPITAL 30 messages Caroline, at that stage I think an e-mail or a telephone call or snail mail. That said last night I did send one message and reached my limit. Now I've got to thinking. Will have to do my mental arythmatic and work out if I used 30x170.
