    he has it at school with him atm Oh and I have both sent him a text telling him not to use it at all and how it will be taken off him until he repays it back by doing jobs round the house or he gets himself a part time job. According to vodafone he went 700 texts over his limit, and over his internet surfing allowance I am trying to view his online bill but can't till he gets in and gives me the code they text him to switch details to mine. I can honestly say though I dont know how he went 700 texts over his limit so waiting to see what his bill looks like.

    my mrs has unlimited text and sends something like 2000 a month or something.

    can you not get a better deal?

    im tesco lite PAYG - thats 8p/min calls to anywhere, and 4p/text and let him top it up himself - 114 for a month is shocking.

    think im about £10/quarter if even.

    Afternoon everyone

    Well i'm busy wrapping xmas presents at the moment but i'm not really in the mood for doing this. Got a phone call to say my little boys playgroup had been cancelled because the roof fell in, pretty scary to think about it , the children could have been inside.

    Hope your allright elfen.
    Happycrafter thats some massive bill! my niece did the same a few weeks ago, they got a bill for £75 and i thought that was bad, dear me and she was having 2 hour text messages with someone who just lived down the street from them.
