I know I haven’t been posting in ages, but I just couldn’t resist putting up this one in honour of the return of The One to the blogosphere.
Footnote 67 from T-Mobile UK’s business pricing brochure [PDF] on their roaming charges (no, please don’t ask why I’m spending Sunday evening reading this stuff):
Any undelivered text messages will be charged at 30p.
Says it all really, doesn’t it, about the telecoms industry’s attitude to the people who pay the bills.

Isn't the same mentality of that grreat customer service organisation Royal Mail who charges extra to you the receiver for post you don't know or want (that is if you're dumb enough to go to the post office and pick up that underpaid post)
wouldnt mrs reding love to know that!

This roaming charges racket has to cease. Putting in place painful traps for the customer ultimately benefits nobody. I don't recall being told we were at war. I'm tired of being on guard. We're all tired.
