| Hotmail | Fancy a free, web-based email account you can check from any machine with web access? |
| Digital Mail | If you want a free personal phone number, then check these people out. Give people one phone number, and divert calls to anywhere - mobile, home, office. |

| First Telecom | Save money on your phone calls, particularly if you use an Orange mobile or ever phone abroad. Substantially cheaper than BT pay-in-advance service. If you decide to use this, quote account number 1051349 and I'll get some free airtime! This isn't why I'm recommending it though...Use Orange mobiles for 5.5p a minute! Use payphones when you don't have change! Phone the US for 10p a minute! |
