cell phone

Conversation in the cell phone shop:

Iris: "Hi, do you have some time? I need a contract plus a new phone."
Sales guy: "Sure. What kind of contract do you need?"
Iris: "Well, it should be one with cheap text messages because I text-message a lot."
Sales guy: "No problem. We have special SMS packages with cheap text messages."
Iris: "Do these include text messages to Asia?"
Sales guy: "Asia?"
Iris: "Yes, I want to send text messages to Taiwan."
Sales guy: "Oh, so you'll be spending time in Taiwan and want to take your German cell phone?"
Iris: "No, all my friends are there."
Sales guy: "Oh, I see. Your best friend is moving to Taiwan and will take her German phone, and you want to message her?"
Iris: "No, all my friends are there, and they have phones with Taiwanese providers."
Sales guy: "Oh, so your best friend already moved there and has a Taiwanese cell phone?"
Iris: "Sort of :-S Anyway, I want to message Taiwanese cell phones with Taiwanese providers. What's your lowest price for that?"
Sales guy to his colleague: "Huh? Do our SMS packages include that?"
Colleague: "I don't think so."
Sales guy to Iris: "I'm sorry to tell you that the low price of our SMS packages does not include text-messaging Taiwan."
Iris: "So, what does it cost to send a text message to Taiwan?"
Sales guy: "Normal price: 19-20 Cents/message."
Iris: "But my brother used to send me messages, and he swears he only pays 13 Cents."
Sales guy: "Yes, for messages within Germany, it can get as low as that."
Iris: "No, he used to send me messages to Taiwan."
Sales guy: "To your German cell phone?"
:-S
