I an email from Flextel of their latest news release.

This is the text: http://www.flextel.co.uk/press/news.html

What am I supposed to do? Am I honestly supposed to compose a free
format email answering the points raised by Flextel? Doing that
doesnt quite seem right.

What is that message all about?

I wont be responding to them, despite having had a flextel number for
donkeys years. In fact, I havent used it for ages now, as I think
its a dead duck - first the charge to call a flextel number is
prohibitive - 35p/min!! and secondly, many businesses and systems
specifically bar their number range due to the cost, which means you
risk being unable to be contacted by a caller if all they have is your
flextel number. Also has problems when calling overseas, too.

Its a shame really, as in principle its an excellent facility; in the
very early days, which was before inclusive-minute mobile contracts
became the norm, it was only slightly more expensive to call via flextel
than to a standard mobile.

They obviously have only one customer, judging by the first sentence.
Must be desperate! :-)

Yes, I was about to ressurect a similar PN service (YAC) that I had
signed upto about 5 years ago. Same thing - very expensive to call. I
would have liked something so that my mobile number change would be the
last one I make (bit like my email address registration with someone
other than my ISP) but err... no, I wont saddle callers with that cost!

I agree - I have several numbers, but they are just too expensive to
use. I couldnt care less if they go.

Disagree

Its useful when folks insist on a valid phone number on those web forms

Also useful to discourage folks from ringing ,that you dont want to hear
from! :-)
