An interesting story in the NZ Herald today with woman calling her friend on 021 and paying $50 for a call she thought was free

I'm surprised it's taken to long for the first complaints to make it to the media.
Maybe Paul or somebody else from Vodafone can also detail what happens in the Vodafone billing system when a number that is loaded as a BestMate is ported to Telecom? I heard some speculation that the BestMate isn't automatically removed but the customer will start paying the costs of the call to Telecom. If this is true should Vodafone have measures in place to at least notify people who have BestMate if one of their BestMate numbers is ported off network and to automatically cancel the BestMate?
