Re: Couple of things...



What they are moving you onto isn't the same access - the £14.99 one is
24/7
which you probably don't want but they are giving you and in the small
print
state you could goto surftime instead for £9.99.

The new dialler is only so you can dial a new number - if you know it you
won't need the dialler but the number of course isn't listed on the
webpages
yet.
