That costs money.

Email doesn't.

Seems petty don't it ?

Also I can get all my thought s down on an email then follow-up with a call when they've recieved it.

Standard practise, really.

Hmm.  Going by todays rates I've got a maximum of $3,543 to spend.

Postage is another matter. (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/shame.gif)

There isn't one.

I've used it loads to call my mum in SA and sister in Fuertaventura.

No signing up or anything ?  No email addresses ?

Just phone the number, then dial the destination - it goes on the phone bill you're using.  Easy peasy ? (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/smirk.gif)

What's in it for them ???

I guess they have negotiated very cheap lines (less than 1p minute) so they make a profit there.

I have had no problems, come backs or over charging in the last 2 years of using it.

Side note.

Quoting: ridetech

If you have any doubt...install the 4 way control system that will prevent any air transfer.  The only compromise is a little extra cost and the benefits are many... better handling, faster rise time, simpler plumbing.

Its not simpler plumbing on a 4 path system trust me i just fitted one.(http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/sad.gif)better handling and raise time yes(http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/up.gif)depends what size valves and air line you use though and what size tanks.

Will inquire as to how much more it'll be first . . . . I'd do it for the increased handling - that car is a beast to travel round town in !!!
