T-Mobile is offering prepay customers reduced call rates to Eastern Europe:

Country	Landlines	Mobile
Croatia	5p per minute	15p per minute
Czech Republic	5p per minute	15p per minute
Hungary	5p per minute	15p per minute
Latvia	5p per minute	15p per minute
Lithuania	5p per minute	15p per minute
Poland	5p per minute	15p per minute
Slovakia	5p per minute	15p per minute
Romania	5p per minute	15p per minute
Russia	5p per minute	15p per minute

Prices are very cheap, and with number of people from Eastern Europe increasing in UK, I think this is a good move from T-Mobile!To opt in for this option, you need to send text INT to number 441.

Minimum call charge applies, which is 10p, so if you decide to call, talk at least 2 minutes, otherwise your money will be wasted!

I wish T-Mobile offer something similar to pay monthly customers, I am sure there are many pay monthly customers who would subscribe to similar service.

If you are T-Mobile prepay user and would like to surf internet on your mobile phone, you might take advantage of the offer that T-Mobile currently offers: 5 day web-n-Walk pass for £2.50. That makes 50p a day, which is pretty cheap, given that you can surf as much as you want.

To buy text WEB to 441

You’ll then receive a text telling you that you can start browsing. On the last day of your pass T-mobile will send you another text to let you know that your pass will expire at midnight.

Following T-Mobile’s MyFaves proposition, O2 has launched similar tariff but for prepay customers: “Your O2 numbers”.

For £5 top up, you get 1000 minutes or texts to your chosen ten O2 numbers (it means that you get 1000 units where one unit equals one text or one minute). Just like T-Mobile, you can change your chosen numbers once a month.

To sign up, text TEN to 21300 and follow the instructions, or call 2425 free from your O2 mobile. To opt out text TEN OFF to 21300, or call 2425. Currently terms and conditions say that you are able to opt in to this service until 31 January 2008.

Eventhough both offers are similar, here are differences:

• T-Mobile’s MyFaves displays images of your nominated 5 people on a handset
• T-Mobile allows you nominate numbers from another network or fixed line, while O2 proposition is only between O2 numbers.
• O2 offer is for prepay and T-Mobile is postpay contract
• O2 charges £5 a month for service, T-Mobile at least £25
