Mugged!


I am still feeling slightly dazed.

Two weeks ago, I made one call on my mobile phone in Bangalore. It lasted 3.11 minutes. I also received one call. Time spent 4.06 minutes.

This morning the Vodafone bill arrived. Between them, these two 'calls' came to NZ$36.59. That's a lot of money for 7 minutes. With the growth of Skype and other IP-based telco solutions, the dinosaurs are clearly drinking up in the last saloon. Next time I travel overseas, the mobile will stay switched off. At least then I will have enough money left to join them for their final hurrah.
