No they will never charge for incomming calls and texts in the UK, that will damage the whole structure of the telecoms industry. It will slow down usage.

Its just tough luck! Companies that can't run there businesses properly shouldn't be given special treatment or handouts when there business is going down the pan.

T-Mobile thought they were being clever by acquiring 100% ownership of One2One(Mercury Personal Communications) in 1999, the UK's smallest but quite unreliable when it comes to network coverage and new technology such as GPRS. They had to invest a lot of money on the network up until now, Virgin Mobile is paying them peanuts to use there network because T-Mobile didn't obviously do the paperwork properly and the consequences where that they became expensive,they then lost many customers to 3 especially when 3 launched its Pay As You Go service, in 2006, T-Mobile tried to relaunch its Pay As You Go service by launching 3 additional tariffs. T-Mobile does not offer pay as you go customers unlimited texts and features like that which is what people want but what O2 and 3 offer.

Another thing is, T-Mobile only rolled out GPRS during 2004 which I think shocking to say that it is supposed to be a major network, Vodafone launched GPRS in 1999!
