If Scotland leaves the UK, will O2 charge international rates?

[Anonymous]

Been bugging me for a while, I have friends and family in Scotland and text/call them frequently. If Scotland leaves the UK, they'll become a foreign country not automatically an EU member so will it cost the same to text as it would contacting someone in say America?

The transition will months and years, although I have strongly considered moving out of Scotland if enough people vote Yes. My actual feeling is people should vote with an informed and considered objective and not one of a Hollywood-inspired Braveheart.

I work with English people and anybody is to blame it's mindless politicians screwing people around, spending masses of money which is borrowed from the International Banks and declaring recession based on their inability to pay this money back (which doesn't really exist in physical form).

And to be honest, I wouldn't want Alec Salmond as a leader as I don't think charisma and people skills is enough to run a country. You need individual wealth and something else to consider is how do you deal with the oil contracts? So many unanswered questions and not enough real time to consider the implications.

All the politicians have been focussing on the positives and not enough of the negatives in counterbalance, so how do we make a real informed decision?

Oh by the way, I am Scottish.

Enough said

Of course the main problem is that every website with a registration system will have to have dropdown menus updated.

Adding an entry to a webform is very easy. Changing the mailing system is going to be more time consuming and complex.

@aldaweb  Eh?   Can't be The Last Dance, Thermal Luminosity Device, or The Living Dead.  Could be Top Level Domain or Third Level Domain but my money is on Technical Logistics Data.

AH go on - put us out of our misery. What is TLD?

TLD = Top Level Domain

i.e. .com  .gov .de .uk etc

Used in routing addresses on the internet.

No need for your potentially offensive suggestions as .scot was launched in July.

I am truly sorry indeed @ewanrw . No offence was contemplated at all.  I'm afraid I am of a generation that had a sense of humour which is under serious threat.  I have however been able to edit my post to remove the "potential offence".

I took it in the humourous way it was intended @Anonymous  I didn't think it would upset anyone
