  • Hi Heinz
    I got the numbers and rates on my earlier post from Niftylist

    But there is no point in using the 0845 number you quote for telediscount - it is a waste of time and money!

    BT charge 3p/min for using 0845 numbers during peak periods - the same as they charge for national calls (to 01 or 02 numbers), without the hassle of using the 0845 telediscount number!

    You also always have to pay a minimum charge call when using telediscount even if you get no reply/engaged from the number you are trying to reach.

    There is a saving only if you use the 08444 620 620 telediscount access number I posted above (which costs 2p/min).

    The other numbers you have posted for telesavers and cheapest calls don't work!

    If you dial the telesavers number you posted, you will just waste money! You will be connected to telesavers (incurring a minimum charge connection fee), but will be unable to make any calls.
  • I don't seem to have done very well trying to help there, do I? :-[

    Probably best if I just go back up the thread and delete my posts!

    Done.
