I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

indeed it will, straight through no problems and free. All UK fones on UK networks will receive these texts for free. Unfortunately i will have to be out there at Le Mans during the race to make sure they work, tough job but somebodies gotta do it!!  Sorry, but to receive a text message abroad, on a UK mobile, DOES cost money. You have to pay the carriage of the message from the UK to your phone, just like receiving a call when abroad. So the service is free, but you will get a bill from your network provider for receiving the messages (Its about the same price to receive when abroad as it is to send one in the UK, so about 10p). Of course, I could be wrong, but thats what its always been for the last few years I have been abroad... |

Of course, I could be wrong, but thats what its always been for the last few years I have been abroad... Never ever had charges for receiving texts abroad. Cost of sending texts goes up a bit (poss 19p with O2, varies according to whether the overseas telco has an arrangement with your home telco). Da Man says we will receive no charges - trust him!  Also found it was cheaper with O2 to receive calls in the US earlier this year (did I say...?) than to make them. Worth investigating whether you can buy reduced overseas call rate (about £2 pm) for a month if you intend calling home a lot. Of course, you don't receive any of your free minutes or texts when abroad... |

I have just had it confirmed and i wasn't mistaken, it is all free, guarenteed, will not cost you a bean to pick these texts up, whether at home or abroad.
Also it is free if you have a non UK mobile as well, I must admit non UK people are hardly the target market but it is free for all.
We are also setting up a text in number to subscribe to by text rather than the web while you are in France, so hopefully you should hear about us over there or see a flyer or something, ooooooo, one week to go!!
