A 17 yo apprentice at work whinged when he got an $800 mobile phone bill for the month and he was still paying off his $1200 phone.
At least yours is for a good reason and split between two people?
I would only spend $800 for two mobiles and a landline per year!!!!!

I feel your pain!
when i was living alone i would get $100 phone bills (from dial-up and calling my parents) and then have $25 per month for internet access on top of
that!
thats why im saving up for cable now that i live in a house and can get it!
my advice to you... move into a nice big queenslander with a balcony and get cable
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

i agree ---- it is criminal what they charge for mobile phone calls ----- mobile to mobile or landline to mobile ---- its insane.
i find it hard to believe that mobile calls can cost so much to provide.
they are heaps more expensive than most national calls or international calls.
my mobile phone is prepaid...and i pretty much only send sms.............but calling mobile phones is craziness. telstra and optus should have to
explain i reckon! |
