Shame it's closing, I really liked the service which keeps your account active for 80p per month even if you never used your number Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative that provides the same service?

Any of the networks PAYG services do that, and for £0.00 per month weather you use it or not.

Also, none of the other services allow automatic top ups from debit/credit cards when the balance is about to run out as far as I know. Virgin will allow payment in arrears by direct debit but then they don't allow Call Re-direction.

That's the reason I ported to EasyMobile in the first place -- somewhere to "park" a mobile number while I'm out of the country for a few years, such that callers get diverted to somewhere useful. At the moment, the somewhere useful is a UK landline number that terminates into a VoIP system. The explicit 75p montly charge was good, as it meant that they were happy to have low volume users, so long as they paid it. All the other operators make you jump through hoops (outgoing calls or top-ups every n months) to keep the account active. If anybody knows of any other mobile operator who will allow call diverts, without a large monthly charge, I'd be very grateful to hear. Cheers, Paul. > Shame it's closing, I really liked the service which keeps your account > active for 80p per month even if you never used your number [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > DC You must be a bit thick! Why pay 80p a month when all other operators don't charge. Virgin for example only requires one incoming or outgoing call every 6 months no matter how much credit is on the phone. I take it your post was a joke? wasn't joking. maybe poorly informed. often a bit thick.

I take it your post was a joke? Easy was a penny per text between easy 'phones... that was our clincher when we joined. Plus free 'phone each. Didn't even use up first £20... Must have got pretty close though. I think it will work out at roughly a free Nokia 1101. Any other providers offer a 1p per text deal? Les SignatureRemove Frontal Lobes to reply direct.

I have absolutely no idea what networks most of my friends are on, they've ported them so many times..! So have I come to that, my original Orange number has been on just about everything over the last few years..! Ivor >Shame it's closing, I really liked the service which keeps your account >active for 80p per month even if you never used your number [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >DC Hi DC, we can provide you with a Virgin Mobile simcard which uses the same network as EasyMobile for £4.95 including £5 or free credit & delivery Doesn't cost anything to keep the line open. e-mail us.

It hasn't had a call made on it since March, but it was still working ok when I checked it yesterday. > Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative that > provides the same service? Tesco are good IMHO. 10p/min to your 3 favourite numbers. Ivor >> Shame it's closing, I really liked the service which >> keeps your account active for 80p per month even if you [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Ivor Yes, they seem best for me also. The Tesco value tariff matches EZ. They are offering £5 of free calls if you keep the same number. You can even change to the standard tariff for 40p in and out Europe calls, then change back again to the value one. For what I need, it seems way better than any other operator. Shame there's no automatic top up, I found this one of the best things about EZ. [snip] > For what I need, it seems way better than any other > operator.

I don't make enough calls to worry about it, I put £50 on when I switched last December, I've still got about £35 left..! Ivor Anybody know whether Fresh support international roaming and if so what the rates are? Cheers, TEP > Anybody know whether Fresh support international roaming and if so > what the rates are? AFAIK Fresh do not allow roaming on PAYG. Yet another reason why they won't have my money! >> Anybody know whether Fresh support international roaming and if so >> what the rates are? >> > AFAIK Fresh do not allow roaming on PAYG. > > Yet another reason why they won't have my money! Sorry to reply to my post The only alternative I can see is to take out something called 'no line rental' and then you have to pay them a £100 deposit for roaming! They can definitely sex and travel! |
