    Hi
    If I want to text a foreign number on Three how am I billed?
    Is it an additional cost to the 'flexi unit'? (where one flexi unit = 1 call minute / 2 texts / 500kb interweb)
    thanks

    You will be charged for the international text depending on where its going. Probably €0.25. Wont come out of your flex units.

    For calling international numbers you can use gocall.ie , Your charged a 30cent connection fee and then what ever the rate is per minute. It won't use your flexi units, the only charge will be the 30cent and whatever the per minute rate is on gocall.ie

    Dam lads!

    Have three now near two months, sussed the free voice mail lark, and recloned I had the texts up north sorted with jelly sms app for android.

    Turns out they dont support free web texts to international numbers..........

    Yet!

    Well hopefully from the amound of fellow boardsies that seem to be jumping ship over to three (I am not knocking three in any way) they might (hopefully) introduce it.

    Still though, the fact that I can finally call me mates up home on their mobiles without being hammered with international calls is a BLESSING!

    I can live without texting so long as calling the north is free!

    Well it took 4 years to convince them to get webtexts. They said msn messenger was better and didnt need webtexts.
