Dear customer,

Call any landline in the following countries for 3p per call!!
-Canada
-Germany
-UK
-USA

You will only pay our 3p connection fee per call and NO charge per minute!

So, talk as long as you like for only 3p per call.
Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I think it's been agreed that they just c o c k e d up the 'back calculation' of VAT shown on e-mail bills.

    My itemised bills on the internet (which included VAT) were correct but, when they tried to separate VAT out again to show on the e-mail invoice, they worked it out wrong.

    Went to register for 1899 but when putting in my details noticed no padlock sign. Does anyone know if it's still safe to register credit card details, etc? It does mention that it's a secure site but without the padlock I'm not sure.

    Remember though that those calling from cable landlines or mobiles (i.e. using the 08081 708 708 or 020 7001 9696 access numbers instead of the 1899 prefix) pay different rates and don't get this benefit.
