T Mobile (UK) voicemail charge workaround?

[Heroine]

Hi, Does anyone know of a workaround to avoid TMobile (UK) voicemail charges? Someone suggested I set my own number to dial and collect voicemail and it would be free....but it still charges me

Just wondering if other Tmobile UK users had found a way to avoid the charges?

Dialing your own number isnt free but it will take the charge from your minutes allowance.

Switch to another network that doesn't charge for voicemail (so, that's any apart from t-mobile I think).

Or use something like hullomail for your voicemail, you can then call a geographical number to retrieve your voicemail or use their android visual voicemail client or listen to them in your email.

Yeah that's what I was told would happen but it still charged. Itemised bill says "partners" and charges @ 12p per call incl vat

Sadly, not an option since I have just started an 18month contract.
