T-Mobile UK picture messaging just 17p each

I am more and more impressed with T-Mobile as the year has gone on.  17p + VAT (20p inc) for a picture message?  Ace.  Absolutely ace.  And you know what, that’s to any UK handset, not just T-Mobile customers.

I used to snigger inwardly when friends told me they were on T-Mobile.  I can still remember having a T-Mobile phone as a student and putting my hand over the handset only to see the signal strength bars drop from ’5′ to ’1′.  Heh.   I used to get a feeling of quality from having my Vodafone account.  Since I joined T-Mobile properly (I’ve always had a Blackberry with them), I have been a little nervous about call quality.

However this concern proved to be unfounded.   To a large extent I think I, and a lot of other mobile ponces still view T-Mobile as ‘one2one’ and a bit cheap – in terms of price and quality.

What a turnaround though.  Unlimited data for 7.50/month.  17p picture messages.  Good quality price plans.  Online billing. 

As they say at McDonalds say, I’m lovin’ it.
