Hi,

Thanks for your input. I have since recently received a pretty specific and
helpful e-mail reply to. My only slight concern or thought was that in light
of the "tactics"? of the likes of Betamax (varying free destinations,
pulling or reducing the number of free destinations, free minutes, credit
expiry terms, etc. - whilst one is still enjoying the use of the service
under the arrangements at the time of their original credit being applied to
their account - without opportunity to exit the contract without penalty /
reject the change in terms of operation or continue use of the service under
the conditions prevailing at the time the credit was applied until such time
as it would otherwise or would have expired, be used up naturally, or
otherwise end as a condition of the then in force conditions [then as in
when the credit was originally applied]) - it seemed prudent to try to sure
up what the permanency or prospective likelihood of change in / of the
service was / is. (I.e. it seemed worth asking / trying to ascertain as far
as possible if the terms, free destinations, credit policy, etc., fair use,
etc. are likely to change / be introduced, etc. and how likely! - as far as
possible to predict, guess, offer, etc.).


Best wishes,
