hi Simon at the end of the day. you have your thoughts.us small business owners have our thoughts and know what our businesses can do.
as for larger organisations they perhaps should look at other options, but remember they are charities and they are governed by their aims and the charity commition.
perhaps this should now be allowed to go to bed. MANY THANKS ALAN THORPE EMAIL info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx TEL 0114 220 7007 MOB 07961 406739 www.eyecan.org.ukfor aids and advice for visually impaired people along with perkins repairs and servicing.

first, I said that I get quite a lot of minutes, and a lot of internet/datausage. so some of that could be knocked off for all of that. second, it was a 12 month contract, as I was well over due an upgrade.trying to distort things by taking all of what I pay a month, and putting itall on the cost of the phone is a very week argument.

Hi,So 38 quid a month, plus 150 for your phone? Let's see, probably a 24 month contract, which is £912 per year, plus the £150.00 for the phone, £1,062.00.And you get in your words "quite a lot of minutes?" And you say VI stuff is expensive? Wow, you was done.

I only paid £150 for my 64GB 4s for example via O2.

Hi Yes but on another note, why do they have to be so expensive in the first place, isn't it supply and demand?

Hi, yes I think all companies should offer something like the easy pay like RNIB offer. I do think that something should be done about this. It would make products more affordable and allow more of us to buy some of these products that we may find useful in our personal lives.
