S.C.G Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 E-mail is free. ^^^ QFT! and text msg's are fail IMO only good in emergencies like if you "have" to use it, so slow... and limited... and rubbish. :/ E-amil pwns it in almost every way. *Edit* And an answr 2 ur Q... it cost newhr frm 10p - 30p but mght b less cos thy r tryin to crck dwn on cmpnies ovrchargin.
Shorty Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 What if she doesn't have a laptop? Or internet access? Or a data plan with the phone? You can usually see how much it will cost to txt individual countries on a provider's website.
Daniel Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 cheers, she wouldn't survive without texts! Ill have a look on the vodafone site again. I looked once but couldn't make heads or tails of it
Shorty Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Make sure you're looking at http://www.vodafone.co.uk because the .com site is about the company as a whole
S.C.G Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 cheers, she wouldn't survive without texts! I find the majority of this nations dependancy on texts both amusing and disturbing but hey! they would probably say the same about us gamers so each to their own, I just don't have time for them generally and only send one when I absolutely have to.
Charlie Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 As far as I know it doesn't make a difference to the person in the UK regarding cost as their phone can't tell where the recipient phone is. Depending on the other phone's network it may cost to receive texts, anywhere from 10p-30p is standard and normally 25p-30p to send a message. For Three (my network) it's free to receive and 25p to send unless you're in 7 certain countries where you can use the minutes and texts included in your contract.
nightwolf Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I wouldn't be fooled it can cost alot more than 30p a text sometimes.
Daft Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 What if she doesn't have a laptop? Or internet access? Or a data plan with the phone? She's going to France, not Ulam Bator!!
Shorty Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 She's going to France, not Ulam Bator!!What does it matter where you're going? You could be going to spend a weekend with the pope, that doesn't mean you'll have a laptop and wifi access. If I went to France, I wouldn't have a laptop!
Ramar Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Sending text messages from the UK to an international UK mobile number costs 24p per message (inc.VAT). Receiving messages from abroad is free if you are in the UK, however some international networks may charge you to receive text messages while you’re abroad. Hope this helps.
Daniel Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Cheers everyone, i wont know how much it all costs in the end till later on in the month when i get my bill! hopefully not too much. My girlfriend has £20 and 300 free messages on her sim which i've discovered is with Virgin so hopefully that will be enough for her!
