The bean-counter in me

Today I took a step into the future by agreeing to receive e-bills from Swisscom. I really dunno why I have waited so long, but better late than ever as they say. On one hand it is reassuring to receive paper bills (apart from them being bills, i.e. money out) and handle them like I always have done. Besides, these days I need the paper to get the fireplace going! On the other hand, it is stupid to try and stay in old times. If this test works out, I will go e-bill for everything. Considering how old-fashioned ze Swiss are, I bet I am one of the first!!

The only bad thing about changing to e-bills is you get less mail. As much as getting a bill sucks its still fun to get real mail. What I really want is to get no bills at all (e or otherwise). So far have it narrowed down to only one.

You have one bill for all your cost? Like rent/electricity/tv-license/telephone etc all-in-one?

I have to dissapoint you. I receive e-bills for my phone stuff since over 1 year already, and I am swiss ;o) (at least half-swiss)

Ok, so you're half open to new stuff.

We only get one bill (electricity), the other stuff comes out of our account automatically. There's no TV licences in Australia!
