    if you can afford to have had a platinum Visa card , surely you can afford a 2p per minute phone call.

    What`s the point of this thread , is about credit card companies or Telephone numbers?....

    Oops, sorry - I mistakenly thought the point of this thread and indeed this site, was money saving, but there you go, wrong again :o.

    Unity is bonkers and lives in a fluffy world.

    At least now I know what the 'A' in 'A Team' stands for :D

    I would really love :heartsmil to know how you came to that conclusion :question: You can't seriously believe that not using an 0845/0870 number amounts to free-loading, can you? That's just so delusional :doh:.

    it costs me nothing at all to dial a land-line number.

    You don't want to pay 2p a minute, you want it for free. Sounds like free-loading to me.

    Unity are you well?

    I think Martin Lewis's solution to the credit crunch by emailing people and telling them to take out even more credit cards so Money Saving Expert makes money is annoying him because not all the cards he's signed up to have free phone numbers.

    No, once again I'll have to correct you, tedious though this may be for any genuine money savers:rolleyes: . I didn't say I wanted an 0800 free phone number, a land-line would suffice. Paying line rental, plus a certain amount for an inclusive call package - is not 'free-loading'. Can't you grasp that? :wall::wall::wall:. It's not rocket science!:confused:
