Ok, point taken. While you may seem to think that I am pig-headed I came to this board to post on an article that I felt I could contribute. To stay on the subject of the Orange bill and not get into the bat and ball of insults I will not respond with anything that strays from the main subject and your questions within your post (Mr Nixon).

I response to your question (Mr Nixon) I run my own group of companies. One business in online retail and the other in IT business solutions developing CRM projects. Don't worry we are not taking on any Software/Marketing Consultants at the moment so we won't be calling on your services anytime soon.

Mr Nixon I kindly note that my spelling and grammar was not up to the high standard of yours, but for the use of online bulletin boards I find a rushed but to the point answer or comment is sufficient. While it is good practice to make sure I tap the correct keys on the keyboard and string together better, more professional and impressive sounding sentences, I really don't feel that the standard of these posts are reflected in any work for any of my companies, so rest assured I will sleep well tonight in my king sized bed. Especially when it takes a little bit more concentration to put together a bid or contract than to respond to a bulletin board comment.

I felt that my answer to the subject of the Orange bill was not up for scrutiny just because on this occasion I don't agree with Joe public and do the large corporate. In August one of our phone numbers ran up an extremely large amount (Roughly £130) for only a few days of GPRS and call roaming. We knew this would be the case because we did our research into call charges.

I think the call charges are very high, but then so are lots of services, solicitors, accountants and many consultants. It really is a simple matter of choice. My point is and always has been that I think the charges are daylight robbery, but no-matter how you look at this it is and always will be a choice to use roaming services. No-one twists your arm.
