What am I missing?

I’m setting up these phones, right, for my colleagues and putting T-Mobile Pay As You Go sims in them just for the time being. (The concept — if they like the device, they might want to use their main sim card to run it, but meantime they can use the PAYG sim to check it ou).

I stuck £20 on each sim then was shocked to get a message from T-Mobile on the device saying:

You’ve topped up by £10 — you now have free evening and weekend texts to all UK mobiles from the UK for the next month.

You what?

Wow.

Now I’m paying them over a hundred quid a month on contract for my main line and *I* don’t get free evening and weekend texts!

I dunno,… sometimes I think I’m missing something and should actually use PAYG.
