No he doesn’t start until next month. It was to my boss. Usually I am grateful that he is >100 miles away. Not today.

Have I ever posted about the time I got duped by a Vodafone offer which said that long phone calls would be charged at 1p a minute after the first hour but you had to hang up after an hour and redial for it to work so I ended up running up an enormous bill by just leaving my phone connected to my gf at the time for basically entire days at a time.

Ah, okay. Were you using a handset, headset, speakerphone or some technology I’m unaware of for these calls?

#10

No, but please don’t.

#11

Handset as I didn’t want to subject the full roaster to it. More of the same tomorrow I think so going to WFH and speaker it up like a mutha.

I’ve read this a few times. Did you type what you meant to?

I recently achieved a personal best of putting off a simple phone call, took me 6 months. Just needed to phone three mobile to transfer my old number over. Instead I spent 6 months carrying around two phones

I’m a two phoner… fucking work, I told them I had a dual SIM phone - just get me a SIM. We don’t do that. Fucking two phoner.

Yeah, I think I did.

I don’t understand the hanging up bit to make it work. Then you would have had to hang up on your girlfriend and not just leave it. (please bear in mind I have spent a long time on the phone today and feel a bit frazzled).

Ok, so Vodafone’s promotion was “You only pay 1p per minute after the first hour!” the small-print (which I didn’t read) was “Calls are charged at 1p per minute after the first hour as long as you hang up and redial to activate the promotion (or something”

Naive idiot in a long-distance relationship spies an opportunity to save some cash on long phone calls but gets stung by not reading the small print.

Like ghee you have clarified (good line for an Indian rapper, that). Please edit out you erroneous open bracket and we can shut this query down.

So did you just leave the call running while you both went off and did other things? How did you both know when to return to the call and speak again?

#26

Yeah, would kind of just leave it on speaker phone throughout the day innit. Silly business really.
