This seems to omit the fact that you have to factor in the opportunity cost of one UK SMS - per message sent - each time also. ::) Even on their slanted figures, the deal is not worth it - unless you send more than £3 of texts abroad per month. ;) It would be rather more helpful if they showed how the combined costs of UK texts, plus their £3 monthly charge, compare with sending the texts abroad for 10p each from an O2 pay & go mobile with the International Caller bolt-on, for example. I think that might help many people to reappraise this offer. ;) |
