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

first, I said that I get quite a lot of minutes, and a lot of internet/data
usage. 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 it
all 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.

All the best

Steve

I think only around £38, but I get quite a lot of minutes and internet for
that also.

ok that may be the case but how much do you pay for it each month on a
contract.

to me, that doesn't stack up, as many people can get iPhones via there
mobile providers, and pay a hell of a lot less for them.
I only paid £150 for my 64GB 4s for example via O2.

hi it is because of the support needs and the low numbers produced.
just have a look at how many iphones were sold on the first day of
release.
now look at how many oasis phones have been sold by the RNIB.
and it was £200 less.

a very good point, it does seem like quite a lot of this VI gear is well
over priced.

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.
