18866 increase in costs

oap

Hmmm, I have just been on to 18866 to have a look at my calls and was surprised to find the connection fee has been four pence since November, they did not tell me of this, are we supposed to keep looking! Is there a cheaper alternative than 18866 now? regards oap

Sister company of 18866 is 1899 and charges 3p per call

Actually, they did send an email out on the day before the increase took place. Maybe you didn't receive it.

I didn't receive an email about it either but have now changed to 1899 following Martins post regarding best price phone provider

Well they did not send me one and I have e mailed them complaining!!
It seems not all of us were told, and from one penny connection when I started to four pence is going it a bit, so will read Martins thread on it, thanks for letting me have this. Cheers, oap
