T-Mobile - warning?

digp

If instead of t-mobile voicemail, you divert to another number*, be aware that this does not come out of your allowance: you are charged extra.

* even if it is a landline number!!!!

What a con.

This seems to be clearly stated in their FAQs

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=content&id=FA640&actp=search&viewlocale=en_GB&searchid=1243122856965

So hardly a con.

Just like bank charges are not a con?

Do you work for tmobile?

I think what dazeruk was trying to point out is that the information is clearly stated on their website. Thus they are not trying to con you as they have made the information available and you have chosen to use that service.

If their charges are not to your likeing that is another matter. Following your line of though, mobile internet, video calling, roaming etc are all cons as they are chargable services which do not come out of your allowance on most UK plans.

IMHO it would only be a con if this info was not available until after you used this service.

No I don't work for T-Mobile and I don't use them as my mobile provider.

As Littlemiss27 says, there is a difference between thinking a charge is resonable and whether you have been decieved by the provider about it.

You are effectively gettimg a call that was landing on your mobile sent to another number (without the incoming callers knowledge).

The incoming call is paid for by the caller- you are liable for the next leg as you are sending a call to another place

I use my mobile to catch all my incoming landline calls and it costs me a few pounds per month.

T-Mobile is a strange company..

They are the only mobile phone operator in Britain which is refusing to make public the geographic details of its microwave base station masts.

Lots of people want to know the mast locations on health grounds (warranted or not).. T-Mobile is locking horns with OFCOM over this in the High Court. Such secrecy is sinister. A company to avoid for that reason alone, IMO.

I don't think many if any companies give inclusive diversion. When I had payg from 3 I was able to divert calls and the divert used inclusive minutes, I'm not sure if this is still the case as left them a long time ago. I remember Orange used to have a service called everyphone (I think that's what it was called) and you could divert calls to another orange number and possible landline free of charge but they stopped this years ago.

Hmm so just becuase the person points out its not a con that makes you think they work for T-mobile, Great logic there :money:

rickyc_3
