    Then hang up when it diverts. Christ, you can't be that dumb. You can leave a message. When you ge the Call Catcher message, it asks you to type in a number and sends a text to that person.

    that is not a message sent by me it is an automated message saying i was ringing! the simple fact is that meteor are charging for connecting a call when the call does not connect! ye should check out definition of a connected call before telling me i am wrong again!

    why should i be charged for a call that has not been connected but diverted to this call-catcher which prevents me leaving any message(text/voice)!? when i can leave a message on voicemail at least! the problem is that i am being charged for a service which someone else decides to use!
    someone else decides to use voicemail too foggy_lad. and on voicemail, if you hang up before the beep you get charged without leaving any message whatsoever. that's what you should be annoyed about

    it is absolutely a message sent by you. if you leave a voicemail you will almost certainly say "this is foggy_lad, call me back". in what way is that different to a text message with exactly the same information in it? the call did connect. it connected to textmail, the texting equivalent of voicemail. if you leave them a voice message, they will know you have called. if you send them a call catcher message, they will still know you have called, though they have been informed in a different way. why should voice be free and text not? are your text messages all free because no call conneced?

    Seriously foggy_lad, get over it. Its not that big a deal. So you get charged for leaving a text message for someone, you also get charged for leaving a voicemail. You say its not fair to be charged for a service you didn't choose...but the person you want to contact has chosen to use this service (in the same way they have chosen to set up voicemail) to manage incoming calls, so its not your choice really. If you choose to ring someone you expect to get charged for the call. If you get charged (minimally) for call catcher then the other person calls you back its going to be cheaper for you anyway, so stop complaining over a few cent here and there and just get on with it.

    Its way too easy to complain about everything these days, but i want to say fair play to meteor, never had a problem in 4+ years with them.
