I'm already aware of that link and just accepted delivery for 6 sim cards... Read the auctions closer and you'll see they actually imply the info they give (additional to the link) allows you to get free texts with only one £10 top-up, ie. no need to top up again and you get more free texts next month. That's what *I* want to know :-)

You might have hit the bullet on the head. Are you sending SMS over GPRS?! :-) That might be the amazing info in the auctions....!

Not that I know of, its only been set up for gprs a week or so since i got a v200 as a pay and go upgrade. I just emailed them via the site and got mms and gprs enabled on my sim card and they replied telling me mms was set up and it cost 35p a message but gprs on pay and go was unavailable so should still use standard gsm wap. But I just got the gprs settings sent to my phone via the website and then just set them settings as default over the old settings and it works fine, but not tried to use it with a laptop for internet access sorry. Simon.

In my T68I there's a menu option under connect - > data communications called SMS access where I can chose to have SMS over GSM or GPRS... My guess is the website also set it up for SMS over GPRS and now you get free sms continually....

I set it up on my 6310i by mistake and was getting charged for SMS messages I should have got free (I have the original out here pack on PAYG). Putting the setting back to GSM restored my free messages, so this is very strange..! Ivor
