My mobile bill IS stupidly high, you're right. Stupid texts to H while he's at work and so on....

I can send you a o2 simcard which is pay as you go, all you have to do is put £10 on & you get £10 Credit + 300 free text messages will save you £30 in txts alone,
If you want one i will send it free of charge - every little helps x

That's really kind of you, many thanks for the offer. But unfortunately i'm stuck with orange until december when my contract is up for renewal, grrrrr, i have downgraded my package to a cheaper one though and i'm barely using my phone at the moment. I've become rather rude this week and have hardly answered any of my friends' text messages :rotfl:

Really nice of you to offer though, many many thanks :T

LMB, some phones can be "unlocked", this means that you can use any sim card in them :-)

I think there are threads on this board relating to this topic ( though don't hold me to this lol ).

Once the phone is unlocked, you could use another sim card ( unfortunately you would still need to pay your monthly contract fee ) for the free texts!!!

Or, you could do the following, if it made you feel happier:-

Buy a pay as you go sim card from Orange for £1!!! , slap that into your phone and if you top up the phone with £10 you get 300 text messages per month!!!

Hi jeff,

Like you say though, the problem is i'd still have to pay my monthly rental to orange. If i'm very careful i know i CAN keep my bill to the minimum (as in, what's already included in my contract).

Many thanks for your advice though.

Hi LMB I just wanted to let you know that I have just read through your thread and all the posts. When you told your husband by email I was very moved and it made me fill up. So glad you are moving forward and once you know your apr's it may be a good idea to have a signature, you can then see your debts going down. Well done and keep up the good work.

Hi LMB... :hello:

I gotta know...did you get the PO 0% card? Sorry if I seem nosey but I was hoping you *did* get it so you can take that next step forward in reducing debt by getting rid of some interest.

I really hope you got it!

little_miss_broke_2

Hi looking ahead

I didn't get it unfortunately. I got a very standard letter on friday to tell me i hadn't "met their criteria". Never mind. I've applied for another one with RBS, but if i don't get that i shall leave it for 6 months, don't want to completely ruin my credit rating with too many searches!!!
