RS- The Greatest Rip-off in History -

GSM Roaming Charges - British based mobile customer...Current rates:_

While in the US:-

Receieved from Britain - $2.52 per minute (plus 17%VAT)
Made to Britain - $2.24 per minute (plus 17%VAT)
Local call in Texas - $1.57 per minute (plus 17%VAT)

While in Hong Kong

Received from Britain - $2.52 per minnute(plus 17%VAT)
Made to Britain from $1.08 per minute
to $2.94 per minute

While in Germany

Received from Britain - $1.28 per minute (plus 17%VAT)

Some businesses can reclaim the VAT.

Now we know why Korean SPs want to be in the GSM game. This GSM business is the Worlds greatest ever robbery.

G* doens't look so expensive now and presumably SPs aren't very interested in promoting it.

Best regards,
