Dave and Nick, I'd like to thank you for the service you provide and as someone who doesn't have time to get to many of the sightings I still find it an important piece of birding information. I also consider it good value for money, what we have to remember is that if we go for a contract we will be paying when nothing is happening.

Dear O Dear,
All i am saying is ,if we pay £400+ a year between us all.Then the phone company is making shed loads.I pay £ 120 a year with O2 and i have never run out of texts.even when i am out of credit i can still text for free.We are getting ripped off by the phone company thats all.Thanks to my mother and everybody who knows me.xxxxxxx

Thanks for the support Andy, much appreciated, having said that if anyone wants a stint running the grapevine I'm more than prepared to pass the morning half on.

As I said under a previous post it sounds a good idea, unfortunately I don't have the time to sort out a contract but if anyone wants to take this on please go ahead, I'm always in favour of saving money!

This is the first one that popped up off the internet.We could then pass the phone around to who ever was on 'phone duty' then there would be no probs if someone went on Ho;s etc.

This looks a good deal! I think we might have to consider a contract that would give us more than 300 texts per month though as I sent something like 220 in August plus whatever Dave sent. Having said that even if it cost £30 per month to get us enough texts with 23 people currently on the grapevine a fiver each would cover us for nearly four months. Do you know if unused monthly allowance can be rolled over?
One problem would be that one person would have to do all day as we wouldn't have two phones, might not be too much of a problem except when that person was out of signal eg when I'm at home I can't get a mobile signal, but as long as the nominated volunteer was generally in signal (or not in bed) this would be OK.

Nice one Andy!

i think you can have more texts and less call time(we dont need to make calls so we will get more free texts)i am sure there may be a better deal out there.
