I have been using a local SIM in my mobile supplied by a company called JUST – it works very well and saves the roaming fees and is highly recommended, apart from one somewhat disconcerting feature. The other day I received an alert to tell me that I had voicemail messages; not aware that I had missed any calls I checked anyway. I was very surprised when the voice automation system informed that I had “nine new messages”. No matter how I tried I could not get through the menu system to find these messages, so I redialled to see if my general prodding of buttons had done anything – no still I had “nine new messages”. So I had another go and then it dawned on me that I had fallen prey to the Aussie diphthong – “You have noiy new messages”!
