Hi Theo

Thanks for asking us about the change in the prices.

I understand you=E2=80=99ve received a text message informing about the cha=
nge in prices from 22 April. The change in price from 20p per minute to 25p=
per minute (calls to other networks and landlines) is only for 3Pay custom=
ers.

There has been change in the voicemail pricing for Flat12 customers. Wherei=
n it=E2=80=99s currently free but, after 21 April you=E2=80=99ll be charged=
at 15p per minute. There have also been changes in the prices for:

=E2=80=A2International rate
=E2=80=A2National rate numbers
=E2=80=A2Premium rate
=E2=80=A2Personal numbers
=E2=80=A2Picture messaging

I hope my response answers your query. If there=E2=80=99s anything else we =
can help you with, give us a call free on 333 from your 3 mobile or at nati=
onal rate on 0843 373 3333 from any other phone.

You can tell us what you thought about how we handled this by doing a quick=
survey =E2=80=93 call us on 02030 941 503. We=E2=80=99d love to hear from =
you, and we=E2=80=99ll use your feedback to help improve the way we do thin=
gs.

Asda isn't the only 8p per min virtual
http://petef.22web.net/payg.html

and even after the price rises there's still nothing to touch 3Pay
for on net calls and data.

That's inclusive calls to 4 Million 3UK users for 3 months,
and free calls to over 500 Million world wide Skype users,
adding 40 Million every quarter

Also 3 are adding free Twitter and o.facebook.com

What a load of old =E2=80=99rap!

So from what i can tell only Voicemail on Flat12 is going up from free to
15p?
That's avoidable by calling 3 Voicemail from a phone with inc mins

and the same changes as 3pay for international, etc
