    Then it will start to look like you're turning this thread into spam, and less than one signature a day is hardly a subject to boast about.

    Most networks dumped this years ago, apart from O2 being fairly recent, and given that mobile tariffs have dropped or contain more minutes, it would clearly be more difficult to sustain than it used to be.

    You can find ways to call 0870 for from about 5 pence a minute, which isn't as bad as the network tariff for the calls

    Or use the well-known website to look up alternatives

    redux makes some excellent points. It's fine saying 'oh, but x amount of years ago these were free!' when said amount of years ago, things like unlimited bundles werent around, you didnt get as much for your money at all and generally tariffs were much weaker.

    This thread is becoming a touch on the spammy side.

    All in all, i understand why you're doing it (heck, even I get stung by these.. my work sick line is a 087! how rude?!) but it won't go anywhere with the relevant parties.
    On the up :D
