Luckily for me I guess they realise that sending those sorts of messages to
people on business tarifs is pointless :-)

When I was living in the UK I got a message from Vodafone telling me that I
should sign up "for free" to their "passport" service, which meant while
abroad I got cheaper calls or something. Anyway I thought why not if it's
free, so I phoned up to activiate the service (as it instructed you to do
so) and was told I needed to upgrade my account first (obviously this new
tarif cost twice my current tarif). After a few back-and-to arguments about
how this wasn't actually free for me I hung up :-)
