Now I would like to make it clear that I am not attempting to sell you something here. I am by no way an expert in the field of offering cheaper communications; I am in fact a form of life coach who runs stammering therapy and how to increase confidence courses.

I suppose my whole frustration with the amount that I was being charged in conjunction with my mobile phone usage came about after I returned from Lanzarote last year. I had spent a couple of weeks over there on a family holiday in the resort of Playa Blanca. During the vacation I sent just four text messages and made three small phone calls to my family back home in the UK.

When the monthly mobile telephone bill arrived, three weeks after our return to the UK, I could not believe the amount they had charged me. I could not undertand it, I thought it just had to be an error. Below was the reply that I received from one of the customer services workers:

“These are our rates when phoning and texting from abroad”.

I then decided to start searching on the net for a company that could offer me a better deal. I went onto Google and after making a few searches I was able to obtain a much cheaper rate.
