Rufus – Guide Dog For The Blind update

oceantelecom — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:17:02 +0000

You may be aware that Ocean Telecom are currently sponsoring a guide dog for the blind through his training and development, in the hope that he’ll help change the life of a visually impaired person.

Well, Rufus is getting bigger and has moved in with his puppy walker Heather and her family for the next phase of his training.

Heather describes him as “bomb proof” after taking him to many varied places and environments, including schools, train stations, supermarkets and an airport. Heather says “He just sits at my feet and isn’t bothered at all. He’s a playful chap at home and really listens when you’re out and about doing obedience work”.

It’s not all work for Rufus though, he’s got a number of friends including India, another future guide dog and enjoys playing “find the teddy” with Heather’s children.

Rufus is making excellent progress and as well as displaying all the character of a future guide dog, he’s a loving and cuddly family member as well. Keep up the good work everyone, he’s coming along brilliantly.

Ocean sponsors Rufus, a future Guide Dog for the Blind

oceantelecom — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:01:02 +0000

We’re great dog lovers at Ocean Telecom as I’m sure many of you know. Last year we chose Hounds For Heroes for our Christmas charity. They are a great group of people who provide assistance dogs to injured members of the armed forces and civilian emergency services. This year we have chosen to sponsor a Guide dog for the blind so we’re very pleased to present Rufus to you:

Rufus is a handsome six week old Labrador cross Retriever, who we hope will one day make a perfect companion for a visually impaired owner.

There are around 4600 guide dog owners is the UK who’ve had their lives transformed thanks to their four legged friends. It takes a great deal of time, patience, and of course funding to breed, raise and train a Guide Dog, so we at Ocean are proud to be help Rufus along the way.

Ocean Telecom is pleased to announce that on the 29th June 2012, O2 will be launching a new simplified roaming tariff – O2 Travel, which means customers can talk and use the web in the EU without worrying about huge bills. It will be like using their phone at home.
O2 Travel offers customers a simple pricing structure that provides access to their UK monthly voice bundle. It means customers can talk for up to 60 minutes for a single connection charge when they’re in Europe.

When they receive a call, they won’t use their minutes. If a call (made or received) is longer than 60 minutes, the customer will be charged at the UK out-of-bundle rate of 30p per minute.
• Data – Customers will be charged £1.66 ex VAT per day, when they use data in Europe. They can use up to 25MB a day.

O2 Travel offers our customers simplicity, value and transparency.

O2 will proactively move their eligible SMB customer base to O2 Travel before the end of June and will be communicating this as follows:

Text message to single accounts sent between Monday 18th June and Wednesday 20 June.
