Mr Coeur de Lion Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Anyone know who does the cheapest international sms's? I'm with orange at the mo and 28 cents a message is a little high methinks. Plus they keep stealing money off me for other things I'm not even using (€35 went missing mysteriously over the weekend even though I hadn't used the phone), so don't trust orange much anymore.Anyway, what does everyone else pay?Looking for a non contract plan.TaR.

AnOther Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We've used ONEROAM for the past 3 years and been quite happy with them. They were the pick of the bunch of similar products at that time but I know there are several other other players now, some of whom might be slightly cheaper, but considering how little we use it and the hassle of changing the number if we moved to another provider I'm quite content to to stick with them.

I'd only made 12 international sms's. My smart phone connects to the internet automatically when I don't want it to (not that smart then), and I wondered if it was that. But nothing like that shows up on the online facture, just the sms's and I have clicked show everything.Have written to orange, but as usual no response. And why should they? They have my money.

AnOther Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We don't do much of that so not a problem, top of the list for us really was free incoming calls.Good luck with your hunt and let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If you are sending texts from home you can do it with Skype for 8 centimes to anywhere in the world as far as I know. I certainly use it for the U.K. and Aussie, wot just lost their ashes!!!It also gives you a running count of how many letters you have and if you go over the 160 characters it tells you haw much you are spending and sends as how ever many texts on the muliyple of 160. It's also much easier to send with a proper keyboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 From what I have just read off that web site L&R you actually use your normal land line phone? Or do you have to have a VOIP phone already active?It looks like a really good deal especially as my sister lives in Aussy and the FT VOIP service don't cover there.!

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've never used the phone call side of things, but apprently you type your number in and the destination number in and click call.The system then rings your phone, you answer it and then, it rings the destination phone and connects you. Excellent line too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Weird, I was able to use it straight away (signed up yesterday, a friend has been using it for a while), and eventually got several emails a little later on. Put €10 on it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I still haven't had an e-mail from these clowns! And it won't let me sign on until I do by the looks of it? If you can get through to them would you ask them what's happening pretty please? I have used my forum name of Jonzjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 That's bizarre.I'll send them an email on your behalf and see if they can help.Sorry it's gone boobs up for you.Nothing worse than recommending something to someone only for them to fail to perform.
