I read most of it a couple of days ago.

They seem to have a very patronising opinion of the memory span of their customers. Anybody who has phoned up a network to comment on an increase in roaming tariffs has been told "we are only passing on charges that the other network charges us."

Now they claim charges have decreased; it is a big lie. Orange UK followed on previous increases with a doubling of many tariffs from 51p to ?1.10 in 2003 and they haven't dropped at all since.

I don't know why they are whingeing about short timespan. I'd suggest it has been rather a long time that this has been in process.

Vodafone's Passport product has been interesting, but it is well overdue that other metworks responded.
