Customer Service Representative: Of course! What are you looking for? A smartphone?

Customer: Yes.

Customer Service Representative: Okay, great. We have a huge range, but our three most popular are the iPhone, the blackberry and the HTC, would you like to take a look at them?

Customer: I’ve been very interested in the iPhone, I’ve heard good things about it. What does it offer?

Customer Service Representative: Yes, the iPhone is very popular, mainly for its great selection of apps. It also contains a great camera, along with a long-lasting battery life, music, email, internet etc.

Customer: Oh, that sounds great, just what I’m looking for actually.

Customer Service Representative: Awesome! Is there a particular network and tariff you would like?

Customer: Well, I definitely want to be with O2 and I would require my tariff to contain a great deal of minutes and texts.

Customer Service Representative: Okay, would you like a pay monthly contract or a pay as you go contract?

Customer: I’ve always paid monthly, so I think I’ll stick with that.

Customer Service Representative: Right, well, the most popular O2, pay monthly tariff with a new phone is one that contains 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 100MB of data costing £34.00 a month for 24 months, is that anything that interests you?

Customer: That’s exactly what I’m looking for, but is there one that contains more minutes?

Customer Service Representative: Yes, there is one exactly the same but with 900 minutes but for £39.00. Is that any better?

Customer: That’s perfect!

Customer Service Representative: Okay great, we offer the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4s and the brand new iPhone 5, which one would you prefer?

Customer: The iPhone 5 please.

Customer Service Representative: Right, well you’re in luck as we’ve just got a whole new stock in. If you give me a couple of minutes just to run
