Perhaps THIS has something to do with it!

Apparently, you don't exist!

Just rang on 0800 800 864 lovely staff, im not with BT but can go over and then go on BT Basic, about 30 days, getting a booklet sent. Was told free calls to 0845 & 0870 at the week end only for up to an hour.

You dont get inclusive calls to 0845/0870 on BT Basic.The BT Basic call allowance does not include calls to the Channel Islands, premium-rate numbers, calls to the Internet, calls to mobile phones, calls made through the operator, or calls to numbers that are not linked to a particular region (these begin with 0845 or 0870).

I think the above site is out of date, I asked 3 times re 0845 & 0870 numbers at the week end, only up to an hour. I will wait for the bt basic booklet!

Hello utilitybroker and neil9313

I can confirm with BT Basic you get calls to 0845 and 0870 number for free for 1 hour for each call at the weekends. During the week calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers are charged at the normal rate.

Hi Conan,

I wasnt able to send a reply last week , and again today when I used the PM facility

I just had a look at the site mentioned as "having all the details" http://www.btplc.com/inclusion/Needhelp/BTBasic/

Nothing about broadband except calls to "internet" are charged, and nothing specific about using another ISP, nor about services like caller ID.

You can pay your bill anyway you like...but is there still a nice fat charge for doing so of 4.50 if it's not DD ?
