Confused somewhat

Ad on the radio:

“Why use another directory enquiries service when 11890 will text you the number for free?! See our website for pricing information”.

I’m pretty sure I know what free is supposed to mean. Stupid fake Dev.

    Ahh it’s just marketing speak for “Call us, we’ll charge you but you won’t need pen and paper to take down the number because we’ll text you it after the call for free”. How generous! I mean I’ve just paid €2 for the phone call and you can swallow the 10c charge for a text message (probably less because you buy text messages in bundles) – A real bargain in these times!

    Now now. You know they mean the price of the call to them, not the text back.

    I take it Ogdenville is the Nortside.

    btw – our monorail is “the Metro” to the airport.

    You’re all very clever. What would have been really clever would be to head over to http://www.11890.ie (just like it says in the ad, go figure) and see that you can text the service and get a reply for free. All you pay is your regular SMS charges.

    And no, I don’t work there, I just don’t like people being this wrong on the internet.

    You must really have your work cut out for you.
