Re: [OT] Web n Walk T-Mobile

Seems you lot are paying an awful lot for your line rental. We have a
deal with our corporate contract where anyone can take up the offer of
=A32 per month line rental and 4pence per minute calls to same network /
landlines. Txt's at 8 pence, other mobile networks at 16pence.
No free minutes / txts but it is a corporate deal. Network is   T-mobile.

So how do you take advantage of this?

Ring Intercity on 0800 652 2055 and ask for the "salvation army
friends and family" deal. You even get a nokia 2600 - they do do other
phones, you can negotiate that with them.

Hope ths helps
