    You pay no interest on rent or council tax so a mobile contract is the same as these commitments & is never debt unless you default on payments - its a ongoing financial commitment & for some as essential as council tax & rent over a fixed communication portal...a landline which costs you £10-£15 before you even use it to communicate anything personal (excluded 0800 calling to businesses), just sitting their like a ugly white stationary ornament on the wall costing YOU money !!

    Best getting a mobile plan with unlimited landlines & some cross net minutes over a landline if you are a talker, my Orange Racoon plan is exactly that with a £5 unlimited text bundle.

    Q What does £20 buy in UK communications ?

    A More with a mobile company than a landline company.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
