    Firstly. I only pay £18 a month for my iPhone 5s anyway.
    Secondly, that is not what I asked lol


    You don't need to justify yourself. For all anybody knew the Iphone could have been a gift, paid off.....

    Thanks for your comments- people are always so quick to judge! I refuse to pay more then £20 a month for a phone I always have.... I!!!8217;m not interested in the latest iPhones and gadgets I am happy with what I have for less.
    We don!!!8217;t have a landline as we decided to not plug a phone in when we had our internet fitted so that was one less bill to worry about. We don!!!8217;t have any fancy tv package just the big standard that comes on the tv. We pay £19.95 a month for talk talk internet which has been an awful service for us so we will be looking elsewhere in a month or so.
    Myself and my OH both have iPhone 5s and they are both under £18 a month.

    Oh and also you are right.... our phones are our only access to the internet.
  • Maybe someone will close this thread now that the OP has had some answers?

    It would also be nice if something could be done about certain 'contributors' who post utter carp about their own experiences. In virtually every topic the same old same old appears. I'm convinced that if somebody claimed they'd had all 4 limbs amputated this individual would say they'd had 5 off.

    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    £36 pounds on 2 I-PHONES would be £432 a year off the debt. The first thing I would get rid of is the phones.
    Next thing would be the £20 on Talk Talk--another £240 a year
    £60 savings a month are not to be sniffed at when they would make a sizable contribution to the debts being paid down.
