I deeply regret offending you with my post on phones.

@Gino_C

No worries, but I think there are many other topics to worry about (phones are at the bottom of my list)

@Gino_C

Again you are not offending me at all, but when we came here, the phones were relatively cheap, OK expensive comparing to Western Europe, but who worries about EUR 200, a normal Samsung will do, Internet is cheap, and monthly fees for mobiles are low (I think), I pay EUR 10 pm (international) and my wife even less (local only)

Internet (stable) is important, we pay EUR 12 pm, but also furniture (TV (we have 200 cm) at a good price (including of installation and connection). 100MB is good.

Cleaning carpets or curtains regularly are also important (you can get a good price with good connections)

Water deliivery, we are very happy by the way

I am not too mobile, so I am also happy with other home deliveries of cigarettes, whiskey and restaurants (they are happy and I am as well)

Smaller repairs, the previous might neglected damp issues, local specialist repaired and repainted (for a price far less then mobile phone costs), but it was important for us

Of course one can have some issues wth electricty, but hese guys made another cable to my wife connected (not WIFI) directly to Internet.

Of course you have to spend money, but much, much less then in Western Europe.

Bottom line, people should think about what is important in normal (but comfortable) life. An initial investment in a mobile is not important.
