£28 package. £24 calls, mainly work, must claim back. Upped the allowance for free evening weekend calls, (£3 month) was thinking of the £7 for daytime free too but mainly my calls are to work mob numbers. So that wouldn't help, so using TU go via internet/mob and assuming that those are free as not using network minutes, but wifi.
Must claim back calls.
