They used to say that talk is cheap….im here to tell you that’s it’s not ….its blooming expensive ! Everything is going up ….where do these companies think we are suddenly able to find all this extra money from !!!

You're right about nothing being cheap anymore. Everything just keeps going up and it's just harder and harder to stretch the budget.

Very true …everyone uses a mobile phone these days so it’s important to have one. But the budget does get stretched

@traceyjayne Maybe it’s a sneaky way of getting people to talk less, thus lessening noise pollution.

Of course they prioritize profits the more people pay for it except they have competitors that are cheaper than them.

Companies don't care where you get the money from as long as you keep paying their bills and don't try to find cheaper places to spend your money.

They want to earn more profits by the year. And we are sitting ducks as phones are basic necessities.

Our dollars or pounds don't go as far as they did 20 or 30 years ago.
