Thought I was clever and disabled my roaming etc whilst im overseas.
Set My Call forwarding though, wow! What a mistake! Almost R 1000-00 Airtime gone in 3 days. Tried to make a call and got the bad news. Haha!!!

Checked online and it says VT CALL - then the number I forwarded my calls too.

I feel rather stupid :wtf:

I did not know they charged for this though! So its a warning to others :)
 
Sometimes better to buy a prepaid or something like that over yonder? Would not do roaming or anything like that on my contract while travelling. Too many I know have been badly stung.
 
Roaming charges are a con. Just another example showing the lack of ethics from big businesses, because they're run by greedy bastards.

you set call fowarding thats your mistake, you pay the call charges for that , so say yuo set it to divert to you home phone, and i call you and it diverts to you home phone, and have a fat chatw ith whoever answers for 1/2 an hour, you are paying the 30 minutes i spoke on the phone (cell to landline charges)
Its on the fine print for call diverting if you read it

always best to set sms roaming
