my wife has a 3210, and she has never heard 3 beeps - we made 2 calls from her phone, one to our landline and one to my O2 mobile, and terminated both from the receiving phone; neither time did we hear three beeps (nor is there anything in the 3210 manual).

For the past 6 years, NTL and Telewest have been ripping off customers by charging customers up to 25p per minute to call mobiles when the companies only have to pay as little 2p per minute.

Orange PAYG calls are 20p to Orange and landlines, 40p per minute to other networks.

You appear to be changing your proposition from "being ripped off" to "bad network". Have you thought that it might be somewhere else in the call journey that the problem is (it could be in VM land, but you seem to be ruling out any other possibilities). Mobile phone to cell (and everybody seems to think the 3 network is pants), cell to Mobile co's switch, switch to nearest switch to termination point (probably over least cost routing), nearest switch to cell to mobile or nearest switch to LLU to handset - lots of factors in there.
I am not saying you are wrong, it just seems you are "shaping" the evidence to fit your hypothesis.
