cut-price chatting - all over


Explanation:
Since when are things `cheap´ in marketing? I always thought they were exclusively low-, cut-, nice-, discount- or economically priced - or some similar euphemism! But cheap - who buys cheap things?

The target audience is likely to be more that of chatterers than telephonerers (sic) and if just concidentally there happens to be a pretty picture of it/them, then "all over" is covered as well.
