Tesco/02 removes 1471

Mihangel

By removing this service is that grounds for cancelling a 12/18 month contract?

Or anyone know an alternative solution for my missing 1471

Thanks in advance
Mike

Check your missed calls on your phone/don't turn it off put it on silent instead

I travel alot with work so the phone has to be off when on the plane or if I'm on the train signal drop outs etc means no call log

Missed call alerts. Texts you the numbers of people who've not got through to you. Just as good as 1471.

Dial 1710 to set up. Bear in mind that it will disable voicemail though.

Hope that helps!

I only realised today that 1471 no longer works on my o2 PAYG phone. I was a little annoyed, but then realised it can be replaced with a text service. But, you can only have voicemail or the text service not both.

In the past I always had my voicemail OFF because some of my friends would moan that they got charged to be diverted to voicemail when my phone was off and didn't plan on leaving a message. Instead, they'd just be told they couldn't connect and assume my phone was off and wouldn't get charged for that. I have decided to have the text feature to replace 1471 rather than voicemail, but am annoyed that people who phone me will get charged if my phone is off! There is no other choice, and basically, they really have got us by the b*ll* on this one! :mad:
