If he was paying for those texts, which i assume he was, he is living in the dark ages*! Just get a contract that allows you a load of free ones every month!





*Well, he is living in Scotland

PAYG do certain sims with free texts every month, as long as you top up £10 a month. O2 definately do it, think Vodafone have something similar as well....worth changing Johno if you're still paying 12p

He was from Paisley. Odds on that phone was half inched, probably from a pensioner.
