However - I have just made a call via 18185 and the "voice" definitely says "5p a minute" - which must be the cheapest there is for peak rate calls to a mobile from a landline!!

Final check will be to check my invoice.....to confirm.

All they did with me is confirm they cut peak/evening rate to 5p.I wasnt discussing weekend rate.Guess they are going to have 5p all week rate ?

Website currently shows 2p/min at the w/end and 5p/min at all other times...will need to keep a careful eye on these to see what the charges are! In the meantime have reset my Orchid to dial mobiles 24/7 via 18185....especially careful with the w/end looming (1899 is still 3p/min).

Thats good because at the moment I have my UK mobiles going through 1899 during the day and night. I will change it to 18185 before I dial home to update my time.

Another question....

What are the NTL rates for 0845 and 0870 numbers because at the moment this is how I have it set, is this the cheapest way:

0845

DAY - 1899
NIGHT - NTL
WEEKEND - 18185

0870

DAY - 18185
NIGHT - 18185
WEEKEND - 18185
