Well, this post is really just a bit of a lol at what can only be called a mistake on my mobile phone providors part. What has happened is over the past 2 and a half years I have changed my tariff a couple of times and with that, the extra things that I get for topping up have changed, I guess to make sure that I stay with them.
Originally I was on a tariff that meant if I topped up £10 I got 600 minutes of calls, now I really never used this, so I switched to a different one so I would get 300 texts instead, something that I would more likely use. Last month I switched to a different one again so I could get cheaper phone calls when I use my phone. This also had 300 texts as part of the deal when I top up £10.
Yesterday I needed to top up money onto my mobile so I could carry on using it, so I put £10 on. To my suprise, instead of getting my 300 texts, I now have 300 texts, plus 300 texts from the previous deal and 600 minutes from the deal before that. Not to complain, but really I shouldn’t have all that. They told me they’d remove all the rest from my package when I switched, but instead I have it all. Not bad I reckon.
Let me work this out:
600 texts at 10p each: £60
600 minutes at 20 a minute: £120
Overall extra stuff: £180.
Really, I think this is not a bad outcome, even if it is a cockup on their part, let’s just hope it stays!
In other news related to this, I have a new phone now, a Samsung G600, and I took some pictures with it’s camera, not too bad for a camera phone I reckon! (I’m still gonna use my proper one for everything though)
