thats very pedantic of you. I get unlimited minutes so as soon as i've spent over a certain threshold then technically they are 'free' because they are well under 1p a minute. but yes i do still have to pay a contract fee.

if you wanted to do it free phone up when in work. or use someone elses phone. or get a free sim card and use the free minutes on it by puttin it in an old phone or ur existing one.

the OP was only trying to help. so if you dont want a free copy then dont bother loooking at the thread!

Well the mag is for free. I thought that a few pennies in phonecalls would be worth it, and whoever does not want to put a phone call in can just ignore this offer, but I certainly don't deserve getting my wrist slapped for posting this. Technically you could also say that everyone who uses online offers has to pay for the internet usage first. For some people a 3p phone call is a neglectable spend, and it is not really wise to discourage people from trying to help others.

Cheers Beate - there is always a hidden cost to getting more or less anything... like you say a freebie online costs you in internet charges and freebie offers in the shops by definition requires a trip to the shops and that could cost you in petrol and parking charges. So the cost of a call (and especially one charged at the local rate) in my book is not even a concern. I agree with you that those not actually interested in the offer who are replying only out of devilment could have quite easily have ignored the thread, instead they rather promote it by putting your post back up to the top of the board by hitting reply with an insult attached.

At the end of the day all you are doing is trying to help others.
