Re: Phone charges

Theres no Evening rate anymore and no weekend rate for calling mobiles.
There is still an evening rate, just no weekend rate, the same as BT

Quote:
This will result in large bills since you also have TV and Internet to pay for which is also rising in June.
For most customers the bundle prices are going up by £1, which you can stop happening if you sign up for e-billing.

The line rental of £11 is not being changed.

If you don't sign up for BT e-billing your line rental is £11.75 per month

Local non-VM calls:
3.5p per min Daytime
4p per hour evening
Free at weekends
The local rate/cable to cable distinction doesn't work anymore

Do you know what is a cable line and what isn't? What is a local rate and what isn't? Most people don't, and as everyone is used to not having to work it out with any other provider, it would cause a lot of confusion. Also since you can transfer your number between cable and other providers and vice versa, what used to be free call may suddenly become chargeable

Quote:
National calls:
4p per minute daytime
6p per hour evening
Free at weekends
You actually want national landline calls to be MORE expensive than they are?

All UK landline calls (to any provider) both local and national are already free at weekends with the standard line rental anyway

Quote:
Furthermore, they should introduce something that offers unlimited evening and weekend calls to mobiles too.
As soon as the mobile networks offer sensible termination rates to their networks I'm sure they will

In the meantime there is always Talk Anywhere, which gives you 200, 400 or 800 minutes to use to landlines, mobiles, international numbers (both landline and mobiles) and 0845/0870 numbers.
