Margaret that's very good but I've put £10 of credit on mine on New Years day 2005 and I still have £4 odd left but that's as much to do with the fact that I'm a tight so and so as anything.
My other half spends much time and money sending text messages to her friends when it's simpler and, due to the BT package that we have, free between 18:00 and 06:00 on weekdays or anytime at weekend, to phone them landline to landline.
When I questioned my beloved about it the other night she announced that she couldn't be bothered getting up to get the phone, so I went and got the phone for her and as I passed it to her I mentioned, incase she didn't realise, that it's not one which is fixed to the wall with a short wire
I love my other half but really sometimes I despair.
