It seems their systems have screwed up even more and instead of letting me have free stuff, I have to pay more for it to work. Basically, my first 300 texts arent the free ones, the next 300 are, so I have to text 300 people using those 300 texts (£30 then) so I can get my free texts for topping up a tenner. This to me seems like a bit of a rip off being that I should have got those 300 texts from just the tenner.

However for me, I’m just glad that I don’t use my phone that much, but even if I ended up wanting to change things I would probabily move myself onto a contract anyway. Besides tha’s quite a far off anyway so this doesn’t matter.

As I’m in a random poll mood, should I complain being I don’t even use them?

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)
