Obviously not the £3.54 a month (ex VAT), but increased to
£3.77 a month (ex VAT) in January, contract I am on then.
That came with no phone (or data) at all.

And there are far too many places where the mobile signal is
just not reliable, like home, or my partner's family home in
Oxfordshire, or my sister's house just a few miles up the
road from you, Tim.

Even in the middle of London, I often find that even though
the phone claims there is plenty of signal, I either cannot
make a call, or the call quality is roughly equivalent to
that of the cold calls from India trying to persuade me to
download their malware onto my computer.
