Am a bit slow, just found out I can actually send free txts (30) a month to any UK mobile even when that person is abroad and it has to be orange to orange.

    Are you sure, friend is in South Africa and she thinks, she will get them free, will have to tell her? Much better sending e-mail in that case. Thanks

    What network is your friend on? It does not cost anything to receive a text in South Africa on Orange.

    HTH

    She is on orange, that's why she says the texts are free orange to orange on the web. I am talking about the free 30 txts available on orange website. Thanks
  • yeah if she is abroad with orange mobile-all the charges to call and text her are the same to you as if she was in the uk. so if you have orange to orange texts, they can be used to text her
