I got suspended in less than 6 months, and had to get CS to reinstate me. I can't remember the details, but I think I could receive calls but not make them while suspended, and was showing a zero balance. According to CS it's 3 months for suspend, 6 for disconnection. If they're talking out of their hat it wouldn't be the first time. Theo

Is it that if you are up a mountain and cannot get say, an orange signal you can roam onto o2 or vodafone or whichever network does have a signal? Can you buy these sims online or do you need to take a holiday to buy one? How do their call costs compare to the "domestic" operators?

UK networks have recently adopted 999 roaming, so as long as you have an active UK sim you should be able to make a 999 call on all the UK networks available by your phone. > > Can you buy these sims online or do you need to take a holiday to buy > one? > Online dealers can supply them > > How do their call costs compare to the "domestic" operators? > Expensive roaming rates Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK |
