How long could you go without your phone?

p. 60 1a "Phone quiz"
1 call, phone, ring
2 a give
  b make
3 a up
  b turn
  c off (someone's voice can cut out temporarily if reception is bad)
  d up
  e out
  f through
  g speak
  h put
4 a charge
  b landline
  c engaged (AmEng: busy)
  d missed
  e directory enquiries (AmEng: directory assistance)
  f voicemail service = voice mailbox
  g pay phones

pay as you go: you pay for minutes and data before you use it
subscription: you have a monthly cost, plus extra if you use more data, which you pay after you use it

"er" and "erm" are British spellings for what I write as "uh" and "um"
