One2One are starting a new promotional tariff on Thursday, where for £20 you
get unlimited local, national and calls to one2one phones for £20/month.
One2Weekend National was £20 and One2Evening National was £25, but are not
as good as the new offering.
One2Daytime National at £59 gave free local and national calls 7am-7pm
Mon-Fri. Anytime Max gives you unlimited time at any time to local, national
and one2one phones for a little more.
The new offerings even make the old PersonalCall tariffs seem lame :)

weekends, and used to cost about £18/month to start with, but the price has
been going up over recent years. I think it's about £28/month now. May as
well ditch it, as you have to pay 6p/min for voicemail on that tariff, I
believe.

Except it's not unlimited at all, it is limited to 3000 minutes a month. A
different thing entirely.

What does 'your contact' have to say on the matter? :)
I don't think it's something One2One will advertise though.

It's not limited to 3000 minutes atall. The fair use policy is designed to
dis-courage people from using MAX like a baby monitor for example. If you
make legitimate calls, they will not penalise you. If you leave it connected
24/7, you will be moved onto a different tariff.

OK so I make 5000 mins of legitimate calls per month,
possibly more. Is the fair use policy not going to come
into play?
Just in case this is One2One's own description:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To ensure the provision of a quality service to all our
customers and to ensure that the behaviour of some
does not disadvantage the majority of our customers
we may request customers who make excessive use
of free calls to reduce their usage of these calls.
If usage continues to be excessive, One 2 One may
move these users to another currently available time
plan, they may lose the right to move back to that
original plan. One 2 One currently considers
"excessive" use to be more than 3,000 minutes of
free calls per month.
We reserve the right to vary this policy, but we will
notify you if we do.

I agree with Chris Spyrou's posts on this subject, however one thing cannot
be disputed. One 2 One advertise Precept/Anytime Max as "unlimited" calls -
that is clearly not the case. How strictly enforced any limit is, could be
debated until we're blue in the face, however the fact remains that there is
a limit in place - meaning One2One's claims of *unlimited* calls are at best
misleading, at worst downright fraudulent.

My personal opinion is that One2One (as well as Genie)
should be forced to change the tariff name to one more
suitable and in line with the tariff structure. At the end of
the day you can't have something that's unlimited and at
the same time isn't.

Genie have changed the name of their tariffs, and now advertise the fact
that you get 600 inclusive texts a month with a contract tariff and 300 with
a prepay tariff. After that they charge 10p per message

I take your point Chris, but from what i have learned of the fair use
policy, it really aimed at discouraging the kind of use which stops other
customers using the network. If your 5000 minutes were spread accross
different locations and at different times of the day (which i would think
they would be) then you would be OK IMHO. If One2One could show that your
were abusing the service (possibly for example by making calls which last
hours) then they might invoke the fair use policy.
What it really comes down to is "what exaclty does the fair use policy
mean?" Has any reader of utm ever had the fair use policy used on them, and
if so can they elaborate on teh circumstances?
Stephen Plume

But I am actually considering this O2O tariff (shoot me now maybe?) for
making very long calls which may last in excess of an hour or two? Surely
such use is not unreasonable.
Lets just hope there is an OVP!!!

This seems like an incredible deal. Please post a url to the full
details.
As it's "promotional", no OVP I guess.

That's the point. The fair use policy is not clear enough,
as it's either 3000 minutes or not. From what you've
described above, 5000 *could* still be OK. That is why
an argument put forward previously on the OVP variations
still holds strong. Orange have got it right. The customer
knows what they are paying, with no hidden charges or
the possiblity of being thrown off the tariff at any time.

BT now have a MAX tariff as well which cost £79.99

From the phone possibly? Or have you got a phone that doesnt produce
microwaves? Must be worth a fortune and worth patenting.

My Panasonic 600s don't produce any microwaves and they were patented years
ago.

So all the concern that the use of mobiles cause cancer/tumers and
alike are without any foundation?

Certainly. Nothing more than S(t)un type scaremongering. How many people
have allegedly developed cancer from living nearby a Megawatt UHF TV
transmitter? None? How then does a 25W base station or a .25W handheld
cause illness, except psychosematic?
RF at frequencies equal to and in excess of those currently used by
cellphones have been around a long long time. Apart from stupidity of
looking down waveguides, or copping hold of an HF whip running 1000W PEP, no
harm has ever resulted, or been alleged as far as I am aware.
Contrast this with smokers who die *as a direct consequence of this nasty
and antisocial activity* in the order of 11000 people PER YEAR. Methinks
some need to sort out their priorities.
