SaltyNZ: It can happen if you enter the b number in a weird format. For example, 21x are country codes. So if you put +21xxxxxx as the number I have to assume you meant to send an international message... And charge you 20c.

hamish225: but texts to auzzy still cost 9 cents....?

TippyMcGee: I have been a 2d customer from week one with a ported Vodafone number. For the first couple of months I compared my phone's and 2d's logs of my call time and txts, and found 2d's records a complete shambles. They were over charging for calls and txts based on the top up special at the time. Called their CS a couple of times but they either didn't know what was going with their accounting systems or were under instructions to confuse complainants with mumbo-jumbo. In the end I decided to let the issue slide as I was only losing a couple of dollars a month and have not checked since. I consider the potential ongoing frustration of continuing to complain not worth the hassle. I figure I'm still getting a much cheaper deal than on VFNZ prepay regardless of the creative licence employed by 2d in logging my useage - thats my 2 cents ;-).

and if the b number is +21xxxxxx I'd expect it to get sent to whatever country is "21" too

Tunisia is +216
