Salima at the Shopping

Salima: Hello. I’m looking for a new phone. How much is this one?

Assistant: This is a pay monthly contract it’s 25 pounds.

Salima: So, I pay 25 pounds every month and I sign a contract.

Assistant: That’s right.

Salima: How long is the contract?

Assistant: 18 months.

Salima: When can I cancel it?

Assistant: After 18 months, not before. You pay 25 pounds for 18 months and then you can stop or change your phone.

Salima:  Oh, OK. Is the phone free?

Assistant:  Yes. The handset is free.

Salima: How many free texts, calls and data do I get?

Assistant:  It’s unlimited.

Salima: Unlimited? So, I can have all phone calls and text messages and internet free?

Assistant:  Yes. You can.

Salima:  Can I call Algeria for free?

Assistant: No. The UK is free, but you pay 25p a minute to Algeria.

Salima: Oh, 25p is expensive. Well, thanks for your help. I’ll think about it.
