Um, NO.  The phone to which he refers is a fixed (land-line) phone.
AIUI, the e-mail is a special provider for that alone, and calls are
charged using some peculiar new tariff which has a per-minute element AND
a fixed charge (i.e. not a *minimum* charge).

There has been some mention in uk.telecom, which is most certainly a more
relevant forum than your suggestions.  (If the phone HAD been a cellular
one, then uk.telecom.mobile would also have been more relevant than
getting stuck with a pile of Merkins who don't even use the same
underlying concepts on their mobile networks.)
