Three PAYG Price rises

neil40

Got a text today to say that from April 22nd the following changes are happening:

Voicemail will no longer be free - will be 15p per minute to listen to voicemail.

Calls to other mobiles and landlines going up from 20p per min to 25p per minute.

Picture messages will now cost 30p up from current 25p to send.

All standard international calls made from uk will go up by 5p per minute(costs depending on price band).

Also calls to 08 numbers going up too by 5p per minute or call.(depending on number called).

Premium rate 09 calls also rising by 20p per minute or per call(depending on number called).

Yes I got very annoyed at this - Orange have tried to fleece me before which made me switch to Three because it was better value. Looks like that's going to change and I may just move again. If you want a more cynical breakdown of their changes have a look at my blog link (and no damnit moneysavingexpert I'm not a chuffing new user either - preventing me posting links - I just haven't posted much)

Still on their website:

Free texts and internet with every Top-up.
If you do top-up you'll also get all this great stuff for free, straight away:

• A bundle of free texts that get bigger the more you top-up
• A generous allowance of mobile internet access
• Free 3-to-3 calls
• Free Windows Live Messenger

Your free stuff will last 90 days, even when you?ve run out of credit.

So does that mean if you top up once every 90 days than the voicemail will be free and not 15p/min? or is it that they have yet to update this?

These are the current rates and will change when the prices rises take effect in April.

I still think it's an OK deal but for sure there are better out there now. Asda being one - my next move probably - then again prices are always in flux.

They are also saying you get free Twitter and facebook without topping up(starting April) to compensate for the price rises if anyone is interested...Neil
