For anyone whom wonders what T+ do go to this site for more info..

U+,

I am well aware of the products T+ offer, but they still aren't collecting customers at the rate they might, IMHO, and this MAY be down to consumer resistance to change, and nothing to do with tariffs and cross utility billing.

Tesco and Sainsbury's are now entering the fray, and would be trusted suppliers insofar as people trust their brand names, and yet they too aren't doing that well.

The carphone Warehouse seems to be doing very well, and theirs is a good scheme because they cross sell their mobile customers at the point of sale, and have nearly 50% of T+ customer total in a few months, and a much faster growth rate!

With regard to Tesco, they may not do cross utility billing, but there's nothing to stop them offering cross utility discounts, and referring one to the other! I'm not saying they are going to do it, just that it is a possibility.

I would be careful about claiming that T+ tariffs are guaranted to be the lowest, some of their phone tariffs aren't necessarily!

In truth it's hard to navigate the myriad of deaus being offered by so many6 suppliers, but to make a generic statement "we are the cheapest" is probably not possible, because it depends on so many factors, such as individual useage.

I agree T+ are a good company, and I did very well with them, but see some consolidation at this point, and i expect more competition to emerge!

Andy.

Results out on friday guys, should give an insight into where the business is going.

cheers GF.

GF,

Ok thanks, T+ is a company that I would expect to always improve on the previous ones, so the price should rise this week, IMHO.

cheers andy, up 13.5p as I post.

cheers Gf.

GF,

some rise!

HI....My post of last week I feel has put a bit of life into this thread.
Alot of the postings on tjese sites seem to be very much along the lines arent we great or just look its gone up or down so much,but very little of hard info for one to consider to make an objective decision,so a few facts about T+ for you to make an informed investment decision,as follows.
T+,is a virtual utility company,owning no hardware as such in terms of networks,masts ,power stations or the like,being total reliant on its ability to get the best terms,from 02,T+,Opal telecom ,the power generators etc,so no nasty capital plant to renew,depreciate etc.
Its does not advertise at all,all selling costs are born by the distributors.
The distributors pay to join,and get paid when thy sign up a customer and an ongoing basis,as long as the customers stay with T+,ie the residual income.
The distributors are controlled and motivated by the senior distributors,so that the only staff directly employed are the call centre/customer service staff,plus accounting function and IT.
Now you will see that even as there is 10000 dists and 150000 customers,the lack of customers in relation to say carphone/talktalk @350.0k+ is not a big problem,if a dist does not sign up customers its not costing T+ just the dist.
In a way its a very wasteful system but as long as dist base keeps expanding then so does customers.
A sthe costs remain fixed the customer increase goes straight to bottom line,as also T+ has no debt,its a cash cow and will only get the hiccups when business declines.
To counter the argument MLM reaches saturation,even in the market place sinc e advent of carrier pre selection there is the ability to slowly increase market share which is happening.
The dream of financial independence draws people in ,but as can be seen from the figs 10.0k dist 150.0k customers a lot of people are dreaming not living the dream.
Yes there is competition from tesco.carphone uncle tom cobleigh and all but because we at T + work more on recommendation than advertising which I find has nil effect then we will keep gpoing at or near the best value end.
Yes there are companies cheaper on phone calls,mobile and occasionaly on gas and electricity but nobody bills on one bill/platform with as good across the board value,with excellent customer service as back up.
Unfortunately I did not get into shares at beginning of the year and have no intention now with p/e of 50+ and yield of 1.5
I dont know if U+ shares are options,but this is another area in which T + rewards its distributors.
Right the above is info ,not armp for the company and is put on the board to give some constructive reasons for investing only,my only interest is to explain it because as a distributor some waffle,hype and ignorance had been shown about the company.
Trust the above is of benefit to present or future investors.
Wansford

Hi folks,,my name has now changed to chock from U+ because i couldnt remember my damn password!!!

Wansford,,well put and yes my shares are share options from T+ FREE worth a ortune now but i shall hang on because there is no reason this company cant go 10+ in the future as long as performance keeps up..Results on 28th cant wait..Spoke to a share syndicate guy last night to which i tipped him at 98p per shareand his club is up over 200% and yes they love me!!!

Mark

Known as chock

Well done Mark, 10 quid a share will do me.

cheers Gf.

ps, chartists please just look at this chart.

Up 9.5 today so far,we are on a roll..Expect price to drop tommorrow before results on friday..As i said months ago we could see 4 before x-mas,what a present that will be!!!

Chock

Wow, i open my mouth and price drops 8 points in 2mins!!

Some very bad news for all people associated with T+ as John Joslyn one of the main factors of T+ died from a massively fatal heart attack at the age of 49,he will be very sadly missed by all involed with T+.

Chock

T+ up today so far 6 so now at 3.75,thought they would decline a little today.Results tommorrow so could see 4 within next 2 weeks..GF, what do we need to hit to reach top 250 and what affect should this have on our price??

Mark

Telecom plus has gained 9.3% to 371.5p over five days. On 17 September it said it expects the financial performance for the year ending 31 March 2004 will be significantly ahead of market expectations at the time. After the announcement of its interims tomorrow, 28 November, the directors intend to pay an interim dividend of 4.5p, an increase of 80% compared with the same period last year.

WOW

chock

Chock theres profit taking going on prior to results in the morning, was to be expected, seems to happen in nearlly all stocks at the moment.

Im sure we will see a quick recovery and then a march on upwards. To get in top 250 depends what other companies do aswell but Robbie Burns the Frequenttrader is very confident they will do it, and this would mean exposure to far more Trusts/institution buying. They love stocks like this that plod up northwards.

Im looking towards a very healthy 2004 on this one.

cheers gf.

Wow, cracking results even better than I expected. The rise in profits is outstanding and growth shows no sign of tailing off. Will add when the spread narrows.

chears GF.

I take it that the sudden drop is due to the MMs trying to panic holders into selling?

Mitch

Crikey it has dropped aswell. Mitch can only think that is the reason as the results seem to have gone down very well with the online media. Cant find fault with the results. Wonder if MMs are expecting big demand for stock as news gets out.

Anyway I think it will settle down and Im very bullish on this stock med/long term.

cheers Gf.

Again T+ show fantastic results and now theres talk of 6 within 6 months..I missed out on share options of around 4-6000 by only 6 customers which of course now makes me sick!!! Good job i qualified earlier for a few thousand..The next share option giveaway i will be at the no1 posistion to collect as many as poss,doesnt bear thinking about really,a few customers and already thier worth 6500 for what? i get paid anyway..When our ceo first introduced this idea of sharing in the company many of us thought good idea but what if they dont take off? He said do as much as possible and in years to come you will have a nice nest egg for your efforts!!! How right this man was,clever bloke..

chock.

this held on well, in fact it's blue to end the day.
A lot of stocks fall after results day as profit takers cash in, buy on rumour sell on fact etc.
Glad I held on to mine, and will look to increase my holding when funds permit

Yup added again myself. Looking for a top 350 psition now.

cheers GF.

From Robbie Burns the Frequenttrader............

An excellent set of results from Telecom Plus pleased me today. The 80% rise in dividend is very welcome and shows how serious the company is about becoming a big player.

The share price has been all over the place but who cares? It’s along-term winner and I intend to hold for a long time. The future looks good.

They use very “prudent” accounting. There is nothing more to come here except for extra growth. What’s even better about the company is, if there is a recession people will be after cut-price gas electricity and phone services even more!

cheers GF.
