Advantages: Surf the web for FREE!

Disadvantages: Peak rate calls are expensive

Everyday 50 started life as Everyday 30 – and it keeps getting better!

The moment Orange built a mast nearby, I bought an Everyday phone for my son who was away at school. Everyday 30 was certainly cheaper than stuffing coins into a BT callbox, and before long all the boys were buying Orange phones on the Everyday tariff.

Everyday 50 was introduced at no extra cost and for 50p a day he gets 50 minutes off-peak local or national calls; additional minutes to these phones cost only 1p.

With his WAP phone (Nokia 7110) he can also connect his PC to the Internet via an infrared device and – if he doesn’t phone home or a girlfriend – surf or email free for 50 minutes!

His WAP phone is configured to connect to the Orange WAP portal through Orange @ 5p a minute peak and through a portal in Germany (via Cable & Wireless in London) for free or 1p a minute off peak – this is less than many people pay for fixed line connections!

Okay, the modem speed is only 9,600kbps, but this is plenty fast enough for POP-3 mail and well-written web sites.

I liked it so much that I bought one for myself! Now I use my old phone during the day and Everyday 50 off peak – I ring FRIENDS & FAMILY during the evening and at weekends – and it hardly costs a bean.

Eat your heart out BT!
