Are you seriously thick? 1k of calls, you've obviously been using it a lot over there and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out it'll be expensive. Unlucky

  - Seriously, I had to make a call to the States on my mobile recently and was about 5mins - was shitting myself even over that time how much it would cost and it came back about 90p or something daft so god knows how long you were using it for.

Yeah, calls from anywhere to the UK from your mobile are always super expensive. When i checked with orange before i went away to the US i thought fuck that and just bought a pre paid calling card while i was in the states. The rates on those for calling the UK are pretty good, best bet for sure if you need to call while away . While in another country you get charge for making texts/calls (super expensive) and also for getting texts/calls (expensive). So it soon adds up.

there was an investigation i saw on tv the other day about the high price of calls abroad and how phone companies fail to make people aware, may be an option there

ffs 
im sorry but i fail to see how someone can run such a high phone bill up just being on holiday. did you actually relax and enjoy yourself at all on holiday or did you just spend all your time on the phone?
