Answer:

OK, it's either a prepay deal, or a monthly bill. Prepay is probably easier for you to manage. You decide what you'll spend; say $5, ?10, whatever. Then you go into a shop or use an ATM and pay that amount upfront, before you ring anyone. You now have credit of 5, 10, whatever, until you use it up by making calls or sending texts. The calls will each cost more, so keep them brief : ) Many networks have a deal where if you are Prepay and run out of credit, you can text a friend or parent for free to call you instead. Monthly deals mean that the calls you make are cheaper, each. You agree to pay say ?30 per month for maybe 100 minutes, ringing people. If you make calls and stay on for longer than 100 minutes that month, the price of the call goes up a lot per extra minute, and they bill you for more than ?30. If you use less than 100 minutes, you still pay that ?30. You can ask them to recommend you a deal based on how many minutes you spend on the phone so that you get it right. How do people afford a mobile? They text each other instead of making calls. They buy their kids a prepay phone so they can only use what credit they have at the time, and don't commit to spending a set amount every month. Many networks (O2, Vodaphone) will give you a welcome deal when you sign up with them; maybe 50 free text messages for the first 3 months. These can be free only if you text other O2 customers, for example. Or they offer deals if you get others to sign up with that company. For a year. You should ask most of your friends which company they are with, as it might suit you. But you don't need to be a salesperson for them if not! Also, most will give you free call credit if you buy a new mobile - or even a new SIM card, from them. They might give you $10 worth of credit each month for the next 8 months, for example.
