Easy to follow and use, piece of cake to swap. Different areas have different companies and prices. Check yours out. :thumbs: Good to hear that,but I presume you will be subject to the tax to which I am referring? Which by the way,I think is outrageous.	Cicero (40)

Add in other factors like NZ has very short transmission distances to cover and there is little reason for the cost difference.	Battleneter2 (9361)
1110747	2010-06-17 01:26:00	Agreed - Outrageous You will note,either they couldn't give a toss,or they think as the darlecks think,resistance is useless!! I am talking of the likes of Terry and co.	Cicero (40)
1110748	2010-06-17 09:53:00	"cash price" used to be shorthand for a discount because the sale wouldn't go through the books and tax wouldn't be paid. Why should it have much relevance at HN? BS:illogical	mikebartnz (21)
1110749	2010-06-17 09:54:00	most users plans are already charging that ... approx $1/day and then the kW charge, 20c per kW. there are a few i think without the daily charges but the kW rate is higher, unless you are a v low user, they tend to be the same ore even more (like a lot more maybe 2x). good for retirees or solo adults. i quite like a cellphone without the fixed charges, doubt i get a landline in the future for myself. i don't play games so if i had to wireless prob be ok for surfing the net. but for the phones afaik there are a decent amount of people who do make use of the free local calling, they could be on the phone for hours a week and the deals for national calls are not bad either. that's one adv over cellular. Actualy no you do not understand how the charges of The Lines Company Work. btw thats also the name of the company.	coldfront (15814)

It is timely for IRD to target under-the-table businesses. The increase in GST to 15 per cent from October is likely to increase consumer demand for tradespeople, servicemen and suppliers to run two sets of prices. As it happens, cash jobs are among the transactions showing the least integrity of all: commonly the tradesman will agree to deduct the 12.5 per cent GST but seldom his or her income tax component of, say, 33 per cent as well, which is also not being paid to the state. The Government is being doubly short-changed and the customer is not getting a fair share of the unpaid tax." www.nzherald.co.nz	PaulD (232)
