Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / October 2003Data calls on T-mobile FreeTime 750
Are off-peak geographic data calls to ISPs (e.g Claranet 020xxxxx etc) still inclusive on this tariff, please? > Are off-peak geographic data calls to ISPs (e.g Claranet 020xxxxx etc) > still inclusive on this tariff, please? I just downloaded the PDF brochure from T-Mobile's web site. It appears to have been updated to have correct pricing as as July 2003. The relevant paragraph in the Terms and Conditions says: Your inclusive minutes and text allowance (shown on your bill as inclusive minutes¹ or allowance¹) is the number of inclusive minutes and text messages included in your monthly plan. Your inclusive minutes allowance includes voice, fax, data calls but excludes WAP (over GPRS) and calls made whilst abroad. Your text message allowance includes text messages sent to any UK mobile operators¹ customers, including via Group Text, but excludes all other text message options and text messages sent whilst abroad. So briefly, the answer is yes, data calls to geographic numbers ARE included. Bob Jones  SignatureRobert S. Jones, I.T. Security Consultant | Vox +44 20 7882 5326 I.T.

I think so. They were in August, anyway. I've not used it for that since then.

Yes but when I tried last using that combination (in cornwall with a Siemens C35 if it makes a difference) claranet obviously didn't like me very much because I couldn't get on. In the end I had to use 08x at a cost of 10ppm. Sam --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I switched to Freeserve Broadband when I moved at the end of August, and their service hasn't been too bad, quite reliable on the whole and similar specs to the Clara ADSL but at 1/3 off their price with discount.

Free trail i'm afraid. I'd happily pay £1 a year or something (about 100 times more than they'd get out of the 0845 revenue) but appreciate why it may not make good business sense to offer it free. Be nice if plusnet would offer a geographic number considering I pay them loads of money for adsl and can't use it when i'm in a tent (hint hint) but they say they can't.

I thought that free trial users could still use real numbers, though it makes no sense for Claranet! The cheapest account they do is the Claranews at £30 per year, I think.

They do a £10 per year which is says is for BT broadband users but which can be used for other things. I use it all the time for mobile dialup on T-mobile FT750 via 01/02 numbers and have had no problems. See: http://www.uk.clara.net/btbroadband/ Steve. >They do a £10 per year which is says is for BT broadband users but which >can be used for other things.

I'd forgotten about that one - I suspected it was no longer available, but it looks as if it is still there. No binary newsgroups, but apart from that, it looks like a good deal.

They were as of about 10 minutes ago when my Communicator last dialled up to check my mail :-) They have been for the 16 months I've been with them. Vince |
