Which ones? Prior to getting the 3 phone, I've only used Orange - and their PAYG system uses 450 for top-ups and 453 for balance info - so I didn't automatically assume that 3's top-up number also gave balance info. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

Must go back to when Orange Just Talk was run by a separate company, something like world communications? They ought to standardise on 150 like contract, or 4444 which works on O2 and Three (Three ignoring any extra 4's) Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276
