    I dont know about this 1 but me and boyfriend use the tesco internet phone which is really good.
    :dance: :dance: :dance:
  • Thanks for the heads up anyway, I would not use it because I use Skype and all the free ones and I have good headsets and all.
  • I cannot find this on either the Aldi website or the email newsletter. Is it definitely or this Thursday (26 October)?

    NO IT IS NOT.

    There was a sign at each of the tills in local Aldi when I called in yesterday saying the Internet Phone was DELAYED and not available until I think from memory the start of December. Anyway - DEFINITELY delayed from signs in the stores yesterday.

    AND it has vanished from the Specials for Thu 26th as listed on their website currently.

    You should have a look at Skype. Excellent that is, Ive found it better than landlines at times. Plus their rates to call landlines are really low

    Better to use a headset or a mike than phone, especially for long conversations. Your hands are free and u can surf and talk at the same time!!!

    Shopping Tips
    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.
  • A bit off topic but I realise that I have not received the email newsletter for a few weeks. I guess that is why I did not see the phone :) .

    I have tried to re-subscribe and get the email with the link to confirm. However when I click this, I get an error. The URL in the email is valid, but it redirects to something which is not.

    Has anyone managed to subscribe recently?

    I have searched the website for any contact information to try to query this, but the only contacts that I have found are for the propery team. Does anyone have a phone number/email address which can put me in touch with anyone who can fix the emil problem?

    I logged into my skype account yesterday and noticed a deal where if you add £10+VAT to your account they will give you 6 months skype to UK land lines for free! :j
    There does not seem to be any connection charge or hidden costs either.

    The credited money can then be used to fund cheap mobile and international calls. Win, win!

    Thanks!

    I just logged onto my Skype account, and it is giving me prices in Euros. So I have added 10 Euros. Now to see if I get the free calls...
