    You stated

    Why? Does it make them bad drivers if they have gone over their inclusive mobile minutes?

    Does it make them good drivers if they stay within their mobile minutes allowance?

    You posted a stupid comment and got called on it.

    :wall:

    You clearly didn't get my comment did you!! But then, I am not surprised as you don't seem to get the fact that a £50 gesture for going 6 HOURS over your allowance is far more than you could really expect...

    Look at this way - they offered you a good amount off the bill, which effectively slashed the per minute price in half. You don't want to pay anything extra from the sound of things. Exactly how much extra do you feel you should pay for 6 hours of calls?

    But what are you going to do about it? Wait till you get a court summons or bailiffs knocking on your door?

    Another non-reader then. I have already stated on a number of occasions that I didnt want to expect the extra minutes for free. I offered to pay £50 in total, £15 for the original contract and £35 for the 350 minutes.

    Like you read your contract?
    Ba-zinga!

    Were the calls to a t-mobile number? If not, then it would be reasonable to pay 25p per minute.. the pay as you go rate (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/price-plans/pay-as-you-go/costs/)... so that would be 350 x .25 = 87.50

    Paying 35 quid is laughable... where did you get 10p a minute from?

    That was a goodwill gesture...not loyalty.

    Yeah i know, thats why i put it in quotes. But whatever you want to to call it t-mobile seem to have been more than generous in helping out.

    When something similar happened with me and vodafone, they threatened court action even though i never said i wouldn't pay, and was only questioning the accuracy of the bill in question as i didn't have itemised billing at the time. I was perfectly pleasant to the customer service guy too. He on the other wasn't pleasant at all!

    I have been out for a few hours and just caught up on this thread (can't believe it is now nine pages).

    I think it is a safe assumption that the OP is attention seeking/trolling - best to ignore them and not react to their ludicrous statements.

    Either that, or they long to live in a police state where everything is controlled and monitored for them.

    At what point did I say I hadnt read the contract? I was aware of the cost per minute for going over allowance. What I wasnt aware of was that I had infact gone over the allowance.

    I didnt get 10p per min from anything. I simply offered to pay £50 of the bill, it was purely coincidental that it worked out at 10p per min for the over-allowance calls.
  • Have fun with the bailiffs then

    So in your little world response to abusive comments and discussion on topic are classed as trolling. Fair enough. Bye.

    Sorry officer. I didn't realise that I was going 90MPH is a 30MPH limit. Is there any chance I can pay just under half of the speeding fine...After all, i've been a loyal driver for years and have always observed the speed limit....It was just a lapse of judgement...

    Seriously, get over it. It's a £106 lesson.

    I think I'm going to join T-Mobile next...they seem like a nice bunch.

    Again, what has driving got to do with anything. And best of luck joining T-Mobile. Ive just had a look and the contract I am on they have currently nearly doubled to £25 instead of £15 per month. Real nice people.
