No its all gone with the advent of "inclusive call charging". I no longer get a phone bill as such. Sure I get an Email telling me what calls I've made but never how much they cost. Line rental gets taken yearly and broadband and calls inclusive monthly. That might as well be taken yearly as well since it never changes. However it does provide a mechanism for the ISP to charge me for internet usage.
