There seems to be quite a lot of information on their website, but I can't see the cost of texting their shortcode 60155 JK.        Shocked

Do you know what that happens to be ?        Undecided

Their price comparison table seems a little less than factual, as they compare the cost of texting abroad with their monthly charge of £3.  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.        Roll Eyes

Even on their slanted figures, the deal is not worth it - unless you send more than £3 of texts abroad per month.        Wink

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.        Wink
