Given the bill shown suggested Lara was on t-mobile and was paying £25pm its likely she was on Flext25 giving 300 mins or 600 texts or a mix of inclusive mins & texts with outside allowace costing 10p per text 20ppm on calls. Given her £75 bill she was using effectively three times her allowance, Flext35 offers 900 & 1800 respectively (three times as much free) and is regularly discounted to £30.
So whilst it sounded good on the TV I think Lara has got a £10 discount on Flext35 now. Had she not been at the end of her contract she could have rung them anyway and changed to that plan and without any haggling saved £45 per month so the saving £50 per month seems a bit less impressive to me

It would be nice to see this followed up, to see if it is correct.
Thank you Martin xxx

I was wondering if anyone could tell me which network Michael Fish is on? Episode 16 April, if I remember correctly, he pays £100 a year for 75mins a month, but gets £75 cashback?? Which would suit me fine, would like a similar contract!
