  • I have a story that your comment reminded me of.

    When I went to university I got my first phone contract. I got it through groupon which got it down to something like £10 a month, £150 cashback at the start of the contract and a free (shitty) phone. Hardly any minutes, tiny amount of data, but unlimited texts. I was locked in for 2 years, but it was still hard to see how they would make much money off me. Then I got my first bill and I knew they definitely wouldn’t make ANY money off me. They messed up the groupon discount and instead of being charged £10 a month they were actually charging me 43p. The phone I got with it died in a couple of months, so I bought another phone with the money they gave me and used that for a couple years until they got bought out. When that happened the new owners fixed the price 😢 I had a good run though!
