Problem of course would be the fact that there is no way of checking what you currently owe until they bill you but I guess with some playing around you could over time figure out how long you need to run 2 copies for to be charged x amount.

Also you don't know how much your Premium Charge will be exactly but this can be calculated fairly acurrately.

Surely there is a gapping whole in this idea or else everyone would already be doing it!?
Forgive me if I am slow here, but what?
You wouldn't be reducing any charges surely. All you would be doing is paying the same amount, over 2 different charges?
The premium charge takes into account how much you have paid to them in other charges and commission. If you save 500 PC because you had to pay 500 data charges, then you haven't saved yourself any money. You can't simply say that you will run up another 500 bucks data charges so you don't have to pay the PC at all.
All you will do, is instead of paying 1000 for the PC, you will be paying 1000 for the data charges. Either way, you will be paying 1000.

No?
What?

I think Andy was looking at incurring charges for the first time based on the fact that it costs net nothing. I.e. those charges are now offset against the PC?
