Would IBU to not call back

[ilikemethewayiam]

I have a dear friend of 50 years. She and her DH are not well off but are not struggling. Their mortgage is paid off and he has said he could afford to retire early. Her DH is notoriously tight (but that’s a whole other thread)! More recently my friend calls my mobile and before saying anything else, asks me to call her straight back which I do, she then proceeds to chat for an hour! The other day she was at my house. Her DH called my mobile asked me to call him straight back which I did, then without even asking how I was or making some brief small talk asked to speak to my friend. I passed the phone to her and they had a brief chat. When they’d finished I asked why he had called my phone instead of hers and she said it was because I have unlimited minutes on my phone and they both have Payg phones. I haven’t said anything yet as it’s true I do have unlimited minutes so it doesn’t really cost me anything above my normal tariff, but am I right in thinking this is a bit cheeky?. Should I say something or just call them back?

@ stCharlotte, she doesn’t know how to! I offered to to show her but she didn’t want to upset her DH if he found out. She has no clue about technology and not interested in learning sadly.

Not annoying on a one off basis, but if they don't want to pay for unlimited minutes but will happily rely on others paying for an unlimited one that they can sap off I wouldn't have it.

They chose to sign up to that sort of contract, it's not your job to subsidise them, regardless of whether it actually costs you more.

@chocmallows, as it happens we are moving very shortly 4 hours away so this will be easy to do! She was very upset when I told her as her DH will not drive that far because of travel costs and he doesn’t like driving. I think the only time I will see her is when I come to visit. Sad but he is her problem. Nothing I can do about it.
