[Chris Morris]

Digipoll just called us wanting to do a survey about telecomunications, but
the phone line had so much static we couldn't hear each other.......... :)

More irony

I had my home phone redirected to my mobile (i.e. I pay for incoming calls)

They called my home phone asking if I wanted to participate in a survey
about telecomunication costs.

My response was that I would love to participate but the 10 minutes via
redirection would be expensive so could they call me directly on my mobile
please.

Their response: "We are not allowed to call via mobile due to the costs
involved".

So I guess the cost of telecomminications in NZ is so high that no one can
afford to find out how expensive it is.

It probably depends on "who" is comissioning the survey.
If, for example Telecom were trying to find out what the public think, then
perhaps they might waive the 025 or 027 costs to find out...... oh look,
there went a flying pig!
