Academic mobile is suddenly a little more interesting than simyo, the mobile brand of BASE. With SMS billed at €0.09 and calls to “on-net” billed at €0.15 and calls to all mobile networks at €0.20, is much more expensive than Academic Mobile, however simyo is still cheaper to make calls to fixed lines.
