  • yep - here goes:
    using inclusive cross network minutes only!

    Orange - no charges, Free calls
    02 - no charges, Free calls
    t-mobile - no charges, Free calls
    vodafone - may charge but almost always refund if charged
    3 - will probably charge but will (as of today apparently) refund in full
    singlepoint/dialaphone as vodafone re-sellers will charge - unsure if they'll refund.

    Seriously, why don't u change yr plan to include x-network minutes. :eek:

    I changed my plan [actually at no cost 'cos i threatened to leave and t-mobile gave me gr8 deal] & with inclusive minutes now call about 200 minutes monthly to Europe & Far East. Saved a lotta money & its really good connection also. :p

    Some T-mobile customers pay the contract in advance for a year, for a small discount. It appears that this is a commitment to one tariff. I asked just that question; switch from that 750 to 200 off-peak x-net. Not possible. Another reason to pay upfront was the cashback came much earlier, but if I'd known ...
  • 3 won't budge regarding refunds or charging to this number. They say its a personal numbering service, and that's it.
