No mention of price of calls going up here

http://m.t-mobile.co.uk/m/get-more6

But they are switching to per minute billing. This means all calls from Nov 28th will be charged rounded up to the nearest whole minute. For example – a call of 2 minutes and 10 seconds will be charged as 3 minutes.

Also the cost of sending a text to another network will be increasing by 1p. But all texts to T-Mobile customers will stay at 6p.

Get away

Did i not mention the switch to second billing and say all calls will be charged rounded up to the nearest whole minute and give an example ?

When i said no mention of price of calls going up here
i was obviosly referring to the original post where the poster claimed an increase from 20ppm to 25ppm.

It looks to me as though T Mobile are a rip off, there are better providers out there.

I am using Virgin mobile at present because it suits my needs. I am a low user and I am charged 8p per minute (no monthly fee) and |I am a virgin media customer. I cannot find clarification in regard to per second billing or if it is per minute but I am sure it is per second billing (can anybody clarify this) I have not topped up for months because I use my Virgin Land Line to ring virgin mobiles this is a free service for Virgin Media customers.

I think Virgin is a good deal and suits my needs and it is worth looking into.

Obviously it will not suit everbody, I hope this information assists members

The Virgin Mobile website would seem a good place to look...

The tariff you are on is called The Simply 8p Tariff and is only available to Virgin Media landline subscribers, so it's a relatively closed shop.

Most people who subscribe to Virgin Mobile pay as you go today will be on The Addict Tariff which charges 26 pence per minute at all times for landlines and all mobiles. Except for off-net mobile calls, this is much more expensive that the previous offering of 15 pence for the first five minutes and 5 pence per minute thereafter during any one day.

The What it costs page says:
Quote:

Our calls are billed per second and our charges are rounded up to the nearest penny. A one minute minimum call charge applies. Premium rate calls in the UK may be billed per call, minute, second or combination thereof.

Tesco Mobile Lite Tariff is one of the best around for low users 8p a minute. No requirement to shop in Tesco.

Minimum Call Charge 8p then 1 second increments

"Rounding call charges and call duration: All calls are charged at one second intervals, so if you end a call part-way through a second, the time will be rounded up to the next second e.g. If a call lasts 44.5 seconds we'll round it up to 45 seconds. We have to round up any phone charges to the nearest penny, as we are unable to bill you for anything less than that. For example, if the cost of a call was £1.01005 we'll round it up to £1.02."

http://phone-shop.tesco.com/tesco-mobile/help-and-support/call-charges-payg-lite...

You have to call Customer Service to get put on it.

I have just spoken to t-mobile and been informed the increased price apply's to all payg tariffs (25ppm 01 02 03 & uk mobiles) I do however realise that some may already be paying 25ppm but not everybody.

I found virgin mobile to be the best plan for me it is only 8p per minute on PAYG and I was paying 20p on orange. Also if you have a VM Landline calls to virgin mobiles are free with no time constraint.

When my friends want to get in contacte they just call my mobile and I ring them back from the land line FREE OF CHARGE

It won't suit everybody but it works for us

Reply #12 - Oct 28^th, 2011 at 8:39am I assume you meant "When my friends want to get in contacte they just call my mobile and I ring them back on their Virgin mobile numbers from my Virgin landline FREE OF CHARGE" Anyway, AIUI Virgin mobile is a virtual network on the T-Mobile network so 8p/minute is a bargain compared with 25p.

The highlighted part of your post is not correct, they are the same as your other calls and are limited to 60 minutes before you have to redial, from their web page:-
http://shop.virginmedia.com/phone/talk-weekends.html

"Inclusive calls to Virgin Mobiles: Calls to Virgin mobiles are free for the first 60 minutes. Calls to "active" Virgin Mobile numbers are included as part of the “unlimited” portion of your landline call package. As with your landline calls, re-dial before 60 mins to avoid call charges. To be “active”, the Virgin Mobile number called must have originated a chargeable outbound call, SMS or data session within the previous 90 days."
