  • Oh for crying out loud!! It's not rocket science!!!

    Divide the cost of the call by the number of minutes (£14 / 80) and that gives you the price per minute (17.5p).

    Strap on a pair, accept that you've been a wally and get the bill paid before it ends up wrecking your credit rating. Then learn how to budget your calls, increase your tariff or a combination of the two.
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

    OP, how long have you got left on your contract? They'll need to recover the arrears within the life of the contract, so am I right in thinking that you have 6m left? In which case their offer is quite fair.
    Remember they are doing you a big favour, as you are getting 6m interest free credit on your debt.

    making 90 minute calls on a tariff that only has slightly more isnt the best thing to do :rotfl:

    you must have know what was going to happen, its not like it just came out the blue.

    suck it up, pay it and learn from your mistake :) chatting to the ladies for hours on end isnt good for the wallet, you could have hired a cheap prozzi for a week for that :rotfl:
