Thanks EU! Landline Rental Fees Next?
>>A lot of the time they are their own bloody networks.
Yes.
When I'm travelling in the North West of Ireland, my phone regularly receives messages welcoming me to 'O2 Ireland' or 'O2 UK', as the case may be --sometimes several times in the space of a few miles [and not always corresponding to the which side of the 'border' I happen to be on].
One minute calls are 5p/min and texts free. The next it's 40p/min for calls and 40p to send a text. And I severely doubt O2 have built two parallel infrastructures serving the same area. So a total rip-off.
Good riddance!
Now. For its next trick, can the EU do something about getting rid of monthly line rental payments, just for the privilege of having a phone line --even if you don't actually have a landline telephone.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
