Ok so I'll admit it, there have been times when I have needed to ring a family member or friend but I have remembered how long they can talk for and how much the phone bill is going to cost and I have just not bothered making the call. This may seem a little mean but it is not because I do not want to spend the money it is because I do not want to give my hard earned cash to the phone companies when I know that they are nailing the consumer's hat on.
