Why or why do you need to have a credit check to make a phone call? I know of very few Germans that accept this intrusion into their personal lives.
Originally posted by darmstadt View PostMmmm, every German (and other nationality here) I know has a contract apart from kiddies and the unemployed I'm afraid
Originally posted by scooterscot View PostInteresting, most of the folks I know of here in München don't bother with a contract. They see a new phone, they buy it outright. Most of their calls are through app services like Whatsapp rather than a phone number.
Phone number will not exist in 10-15 years. UK seem to be going full JRM on the technology front.
Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI get a free new one every 2 years but then again, people in Munich ...
Originally posted by scooterscot View PostIf you're paying for a contract it's not free.
Yes.. people in Munich. Cold rent for 80sq you'd be fortunate to find something under €3500 these days.
Scoots, you're an abject failure.
Just saying...

If nothing is agreed then mobile operators would be able to implement roaming charges after the end of the transition period.
But the government has passed legislation that would provide some safeguards to consumers:
A £45-a-month limit on the amount that customers could be charged for using mobile data abroad before having to opt into further use
Requirements for customers to be informed when they have reached 80% and 100% of their data allowances

Originally posted by woohoo View PostNZ in the 70's comparable with UK in 2020? Not only are they different economies, in most ways including scale, the world is a different place, more open.
Also what worries me is UK is Services that makes up the UK economy so that is troublesome. Financial Services makes up 23% of GDP if there is a failure here that is serious.
I'm staying positive though but the whole point of this is that it will no make us richer but poorer IMO, it's all about economy. I think in 20 years it could be back to normal but that's a big price to pay to the younger generation.
