The cheapest phone call in Ireland – Tele2 Vs Vartec

Several months ago I looked at who provides the cheapest calls in Ireland. At the time Vartec and Eircom were the cheapest – Vartec for mobile calls and Eircom for evening local and all weekend calls.
Now TELE2 are here and their tarriffs look great! They beat Vartec on evening and weekend calls and are only more expensive on daytime calls (when I’m not at home!)
Their international tariffs aren’t as good as Vartec’s however.
The minimum call charge of 6.35¢ compares favourably against 15¢ charged by Vartec however.
I had to ring Tele2 to get their mobile tariffs so here they are for ever more..

Network Day Evening Weekend
087 22.99¢ 18.99¢ 10.99¢

Gmail madness!

Yet another “Anyone-want-a-gmail-invite?” thread on ILUG prompted the following on :

<DoC> I’m not that annoyed over it. It’s just there’s enough cruft to wade though on ilug as it is.
<DoC> And the sender gets added to my ~/.enemies 🙂
<DoC> If you don’t have ~/.enemies, you don’t have character.
<dredg> DoC: excellent. i’m quoting that
<bigbro> A UTF-8 character or some other type of character? 😉
* bigbro runs away now…
<DoC> Nerd.
