They can do whatever they want, they are there to make profit, not to be seen as fair & reasonable by a few people moaning over $1.50.

If its really such a big deal, there are options . Cancel your telecom a/c

But they must be few and far between

A lot of poorer people have given up their landlines and have mobiles.

1378469 2014-07-05 22:55:00 If you have an ISP you already have a computer to receive emails on, why would you want a paper bill? Just something extra to potentially get lost in the post, and then you have bits of paper everywhere you have to deal with. Agent_24 (57)

Sometimes you need a paper bill for proof of address for getting loans. I occasionally pay with a paper bill when I courier a parcel.

Often people will only give a mobile number. If I have to call them back on a mobile Its VERY quick and to the point, or if they want to talk I tell them to call me or give a landline number. WHY - you may ask ?? Simple, you call a mobile its costs the caller $$$, not the person receiving the call.

A few months back I looked at my normal monthly bill as it was higher than normal -- WTF :eek: the charges for calling Mobiles on its own was close to $300, previous months were $150 -$200. So the Telcos certainly are winning on that one.

Had one person say to me, her friends dont call as much now ever since she dumped her land line- gee wonder why :rolleyes:
