Free voicemail on payg mobile tariffs

(@13/8/10)

Could someone please update me as to what Mobile Companies still offer free calls to Voicemail in order to pick up messages, on their PAYG tariffs?

I've been a customer of T-Mobile for over 10 years, mainly because calls to Voicemail were free, but as from next month they have decided to unilaterally change my tariff so that I have to pay for these calls - as a result, I am no longer going to be a T-Mobile customer!

Many thanks

    FREE voicemail is available on PAYG if you choose the TalkMobile PAYG Rewards tariff

    Standard calls are 20p/min and 10p/text but you can choose a bonus reward each time you top up- a time limited bundle of either free minutes, texts or both. There was also a 50% top up bonus promotion running recently on the website, but this may have expired.

    Avoid the essentials tariff (8p/min calls and 4p/texts) as this does not include free voicemail.

    All the contract talk mobile deals (including £4.99/month with 50 mins and 50 texts and a free handset) also include free voicemail.
