They have something like 2 million FON hotspots for use; no matter where I go, there seems to be at least a couple of them in range. It works really well.

That's a neat idea, Harry - problem is we have recently signed up with that happy Yorkshire lot !
Their "bundle" deal was too good to pass on, given our usage patterns - free calls anytime, with Broadband.
And it's true what they 'baht their support - excellent, and you get through to a real person very quickly.Quite refreshing really - especially as they then sorted out the two problems we had super-quick....
The Macdonald wheeze is a very good tip though - I intend to try that !And there are probably other firms that do that - some research on the cards I think.
