1. A communications arrangement comprising:

  • a mobile device comprising;

    a communications subsystem capable of wireless communication using any of multiple different data-transfer services each with an associated cost; and

    a service determination subsystem for holding one or more quality-of-experience profiles each specifying, in dependence on one or more parameters, what service is to be used by the communications subsystem, and for using the, or a user-selected one of the, profiles as a currently-active profile; and

    a cost prediction subsystem for predicting, on the basis of past data transfers involving said device, communication costs for the device to the end of a current calendar usage period for at least one quality-of-experience profile used as the currently-active profile for future communications.
