Why not use the internationally recognised three letter code for the British pound instead of the symbol? Just type GBP in front of the amount (for example GBP100), it stands for Great Britain Pound, the US dollar is USD and the Euro is EUR. You can find the complete list of international codes at http://www.xe.com/iso4217.php, sorted alphabetically by both country name and code. It also includes a list of EU member countries that use the Euro. Cheers, John _________________________________________________________________ Telstra’s Next GTM Network - now on Pre-Paid.
