True .....
For £7 a month with Virgin (SIM only), I'm getting unlimited mobile calls, unlimited texts and (currently) 12GB data allowance .....

Every time I log into my Amazon account, they send me an email as a check. Does PP offer this facility?

Re: Mobile phone ownership
I have a mobile phone which I only use occasionally for texts and when I am out in the car. I bought a Motorola phone from Tesco and have a sim card from TalkTalk my broadband provider for £3 per month. I get 200 minutes call time, unlimited texts and 250mb data.

Re: Mobile phone ownership
I find it hard to believe that anybody still has a land line. Even taking into account initial purchase of a reasonable mobile phone, a mobile phone is so much cheaper to use and it is not stuck in your house.Say the mobile phone lasts 3 years (they last longer) a reasonable one say Huawei P20 Lite costs $220 new and unlocked (there are plenty that are cheaper than that), say $3 a month, then there is $10 a month for unlimited domestic calls and texts and 2Gb data
That's $13 (£6.50) a month or $156 (£78) a year why on earth would you have a land line?
