    But nobody uses mobile for non-standard landline or non mobile-to-mobile calls in the first place.

    How do you know?

    And until unlimited data is available most people still have landlines for broadband.

    Unlimited data is available on mobile.
  • 1gb data, just 10 quid

    That's nothing new.

    I've been paying £10 for 1GB, ever since I bought the dongle, about 5 years ago.

    Well I feel free to do so. By downloading an app from Vonage (my VOIP provider) I can make calls to premium numbers from my mobile phone at exactly the same charge as I do on my home telephone.

    I have no connection with that company, before anyone suggests it, but I strongly recommend people to investigate what they have to offer.

    I don't have a landline.

    I use a Dongle for my BB.

    Could someone clarify the procedure for dialling abroad using the low rate 3 digit short codes for certain countries (as per page 17 of the 3 Price Guide).

    It says for calling Australia landlines you add a 3 digit code (405) in front of the International Number. The international dialling code for Australia is 0061 (or +61). Does this mean that I would dial 405 0061 followed by the internal Australia number or does 405 replace the 0061 part of the code completely?

    Many thanks.

    Enter the access number for your chosen country, then
    enter the number you wish to dial in full including the international code.


    These people using same sort of system can prove cheaper in some cases.
