Telephony Scandal

As morningstar_lj linked here:
"T-Mobile UK has suspended its half-price employee line rental benefit package following reports of abuse."

The forum link on that article appears to be dead, but Google sees all, knows all. Certainly it seems that theregister's info is at least slightly out of date - shop front employees haven't been able to abuse the privilege for at least six months (back in June paw83 posted "We retail staff can't put people on our own friends and family accounts now anyway.. If the contract is sold in our name, they won't allow it to be put on for the first 18 months").

It's not immediately clear whether this means they're cancelling any and all benefactors of the package or just not allowing any more to be handed out (while honouring existing arrangements). Anyone have any insight?

It wont impact existing users.
Though I have just sent a 'strongly worded' email to HR to ask why.

Your discount will be safe.

Hooray! Then they will most likely retain my custom. :)
