Have You Noticed ? Phone Calls
You once knew what a call would cost
before you used your telephone.
It was simply based on the time and the day,
the distance and how long you wanted to moan.
You now also need to know;
who is on your list of regular callers -,
if you are calling someone on that list -,
your discount for buying goods and services yielding free minutes -,
the type of calls your free minutes apply to -,
the number of free minutes remaining -,
whether you have already spent more than you did last quarter -,
and next month, no doubt yet another confusing issue.
Notes by the author
I find it most amusing that as a major telephone company insists more and more loudly that its charges are simple, they introduce more and more schemes to confuse the issue!
When they introduce fixed charges for any amount of time used for calls, they say the calls are 'free'. The calls cost the amount charged divided by the minutes used.
