Did you realise that the parking app used by motorists in Jersey, paybyphone, is charging you 20p to send you a text reminder?
We are not sure this has always been the case, or when the charge applied, but the next time you get a minute, go into the app settings, and look for notifications, and switch off the SMS reminder.
Set your alarm on your phone instead and save yourself 20p!
A fair for the people
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Jersey Consumer Council – three decades spent standing up for Islanders, challenging unfairness, and giving consumers a voice. It’s a milestone we're proud of, but rather than throwing a party to celebrate ourselves, we asked a simple question: how can we give something back?
