somebody kill me

oh wait, u dont have to do it, my phone bill already did.

im on the dolphin15 plan with orange (service provider). for this plan, i pay $15 a month and i get unlimited free text msges and 200 minutes free talk time. but only to numbers within the uk.

i made a few short calls to malaysia and sent a few texts. now my bill is a whopping $41.78!!!

oh yes, did i mention that its all in pounds?
if we consider the current exchange rate (that would be about times 6) : RM250.68
but my parents bought the pounds that im currently using at the previous exchange rate (times 6.4), so it would be : RM267.40

*dies*

cherie: so i dun call msia anymore la.

anon: that means i still get charged 1p per min and it also eats my mins? hmm... is there any that just eats my mins without charging me? *greedy*
