Oops. Mobile phone bill soars
2005-Sep-26, Monday 22:50OK, the moral of this story is...
I have 1000 free minutes evening and weekend to landline and other Orange phones. This is good. Except that, well, people who know me know I don't tend to ring people that often, and when I do, it tends to be a fairly brief "I'm on my way", or "I got your email, I'll get back to you" or "No, I'm not out of bed yet, I'll be there after I've had time for coffee". That's normally the length of my phone conversations. My August bill says I used 9.32 minutes out of those 1000 available.
I also get 25 minutes free to any other network. Good job really. When offering to ring someone regularly, check that the Orange handset they have also has an Orange SIM card? Oops.
So, I think I need to a) start using my minutes up a bit on occasions (yes, I know I should ring my mother more often), and b) keep track of who I can ring for free.
Besides, it's an excuse to put up a text entry poll and see how they work.
[Poll #577930]
Results only seen by me, it was either that or screen comments, bit pointless really.
