Ah no, my mistake - *there's* the charge.

Current rental = 9.25. So 10.74 of off-peak undiscounted local calls
would be 720 minutes. = 23 mins each and every day. If you assume
60/40 split evening vs. weekend and F&F/Best Friend discounts you get
around 975 minutes. No way would I use that much.
Am I missing something?
