2362.0. "Mobile phones with Vauxhall cars" by BAHTAT::HILTON (Beer...now there's a temporary solution) Fri Jan 13 1995 16:40

    Seeing as Vauxhall now give away mobile phones with their cars in
    response to Ford, due leasers get this phone, or are we excluded from
    the deal due to the fantastic discounts we already get!
    
    Cheers,

    I thought we were entitled, but my Vauxhall arrived from Leaseplan
    last Friday with no mention of the 'phone.

Is the mobile phone offer on all Vauxhalls or just a select
few.......??

Mine arrived a week ago last Thursday and similarly there
was no phone mentioned.

    I called Wadham Kenning in Reading (01734 394394), they're posting an 
    application form.  Just get in touch with the supplying dealer I
    guess...

    When you know more can you post the details like do you get free
    connection and how much the line rental is etc.
    
    Thanks

    From what I can remember (lost the phone number for this company)
    Martin Dawes Telecoms were handling the offer.  Dunno about connection
    charges, but the three charge bands were something like 15, 20 or 25
    quid per month - it's a digital service I think.
    
    Try calling the garage, they should be able to provide the number.

    The prices are (all excluding VAT) -
    
    NEC P100   (analogue)      or	Orbital 902 (digital)
    ---------------------		--------------------- 
    Lo-call =  12.77 per month		Eurodigital  = 25.00 per month
    	         .50 peak per minute		      	 .25 peak per minute
    	       	 .25 off-peak			      	 .10 off-peak
    
    Business = 25.00 per month		Metrodigital = 20.00 per month
    		 .25 peak per minute			 .50 rural per minute
    		 .10 off-peak				 .25 national
    							 .20 local
    
    Forgot to ask how long the airtime contract is for - presumably 1 year?
    
    The rural figure under Metrodigital is for little-used base stations
    such as on the Yorkshire Moors etc.  The service is Vodafone in all 
    cases.  Martin Dawes Telecoms is the service provider - 0800 317873.
