[dajones]

If she has a dutch number, you are paying extra to text her. If she has a UK number and is roaming, she pays the extra, you pay normal text costs.

Check your phonebill if I was you. Phone orange and ask what they can do?

 

[dajones]

she has a dutch number so looks like im paying!

 

[Needster]

It's 10p a text to a foreign number on O2.

 

[dajones]

20p on orange:dapprove:
bill is £80 which surprisingly is cheaper than i thought amount of drunken calls made the weekend

oh and they dont do a bundle to text cheaper just for calls, just finding out how cheaper they would be for £2 a month

 

[Needster]

I think they've reduced the price from 1st July? I'm not sure though - I just recall an advert on TV. 20p sucks! Robbing tw*ts!

 

[dajones]

for £2 a month i can get calls at 19p a minute rather than 40p :O skype/email here i come

That's for roaming charges isn't it?

 

[Needster]

More than likely, probably for calls and texts from abroad, which we extortionate at times.

Prices reduced since July 1st to 10p per text on all networks, as part of Government legislation.

Calls capped at 37/8p as well IIRC.

 

[dajones]

hmm if theyre charging me full wack then ill have some of that back!

theyve charged 17p a text!

 

[Andy.]

Pics? Then I can go and deliver the messages personally for you.

 

[dajones]

only because im actually pleased with myself as at the time i couldnt walk!

 

[dajones]

oh and andi how long would it take to drive to the dam!

 

[Gally]

Lol is it really worth it, it's hardly going to work unless one of you moved to another country.

 

[dajones]

its all about contacts gally im needing a place to stay there soon

 

[Gally]

Lol I like your thinking my friend. Obviously it wasn't a one off trip so it'll be worth the texting if your going back soon

 

[JD]

only because im actually pleased with myself as at the time i couldnt walk!

Holy s**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the girl that we saw in a strip club in the Dam!!!!!!!! Small f**king world!!!!!!

 

[dajones]

[JD]

Jokes obviously.

I don't think you will be able to mate, unless the texts are after the 1st of July and have cost more than 10p.

 

[Andy.]

What for me? My office is smack in the middle of it!

After seeing that pic.... whats her address? I'll go and give her a hug from you.

 

[H182]

Its 10p a text if you're roaming in another country. Still 17p on orange to txt another coutry. Its in their T&C's, doubt you'll be able to get any charges back.

 

[dajones]

jd texts were made after the 4th july
and andy for me! also how far to the nurburgring then (if youve been) and ill come give you a hug

 

[Andy.]

Dam - Ring = 4 hours.

I'll settle for a beer and a pancake ISO of a hug. Cheers though.
