It was for 7 thousand. I was very curious and excited to buy a mobile when I was doing graduation. As my parents did not allow me to have a mobile phone before that but WeNumber’s guide is very helpful regarding 0333 numbers. Thanks for sharing this with us.

In 1877 the telephone became available for use as a ‘private line’ that connected two telephones. The going rate was anywhere from $20 to $40 dollars a year. This was still a stretch for the budget of working class families. http://www.translucency.com/frede/telephone.
