I thought Id like to pass on an idea that might well be of use to alot of people in my sittuation.. How about being able to use 1899 on a pre-pay basis if one choses.. It would be like voip-cheap, but using the normal land line proceedure.

I reckon this would make it easier for people in my low-finance sittuation when sometimes the funds arent available at point of invoice, meaning I get the "your 1899 account, blah blah blah.." Atleast with pre-pay, this wouldnt happen.. no credit = no calls

So I top up a tenner, and it lasts me a couple of months, as my main calls are the 3p a go and the usual mobile calls (Which are the ones that sting my pocket)

Surely the answer is put the money you would have wanted to pay up-front into a deposit account, and then when the bill comes you have it to pay with? Alternatively you can pay funds into a credit card account in advance to get a credit balance. Some cards will even pay you a small amount of interest for a credit balance?

Well the rest of us all seem happy with this system from 1899.  As you are the only one who has a problem don't you think it might perhaps be your good self who is being just a touch unreasonable.

There are pre-pay phone companies out there if you want them.  But their calls happen not to be as cheap.  01/02 is a competitive market so you pays your money and you takes your choice.
