  • I don't understand what the problem is?

    I'd advise to check the prices of calls before ringing people....

    Don't vodafone do stop the clock at off-peak times so it would be cheaper for your friend to call you as they would only have to pay for the first 3mins of the call.

    Cross-network charges are high across all providers - if all or most of your mates are on Voda, best thing is to switch to Voda if you can (get a new number rather than porting).

    Upgrade to a package with inclusive cross network minutes instead?
    Here I go again on my own....

    My recommedation is dont call for so long. I'm not being nasty, but mobile calls are costly. The biggest tip has been on the banner of this site for as long as I can remember.
    My views are irrelevant - censorship is alive & well!

    here's a better idea.. if he only lives 10 minutes away and you need to speak to him for an hour meet him in the pub, have a chat and spend your £22 on beer and a kebab on the way home..
