    Rather than just post links I think people should at least say what they are linking.

    While you were typing that you could have clicked on both links.

    To be honest I'm glad of anything that takes up a bit of extra time at the moment!

    We have operated various calling services for many years from the UK to allow international calls to be made using inclusive minutes on mobiles and landlines.

    and who's we?


  • Registered Users Posts: 257 ✭✭agfasfos


    'We' ???.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 mikael235


    I posted details of a service that people can use to make free calls from their inclusive minutes from Ireland, but the moderators here don't want anyone to hear about it. They have sent me a warning and have deleted the post. I would have thought a service which just covers its costs to help people stay in touch during this pandemic would be helpful. It seems not.

    Spam is another term for it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,990 ✭✭✭ThePott


    It did look like spam tbh, maybe if the formatting was a bit better it would be acceptable.
    Knowing nothing about the site itself.

    When I go to the Rosetta stone site it says it is free only for students

    I wonder could we have the first post with all of the links to the great bargains rather then having to scroll through the whole thread?
