    That's a misleading headline. They haven't scrapped charges, but simply included the numbers in talk plans. It's a step in the right direction though.

    Don't be so pedantic! As far as I'm concerned it's a good post by KDH, well done. :T :T :T

    No offence meant. I was complaining about BT's (or possibly Yahoo's) spin on it, not KDH's post.

    It is Yahoo, not BT, who are being misleading. I haven't seen any release from BT suggesting they are 'scrapping' the charges.

    Now to see if Virgin follow suit-if not it's off to BT I go
    I've been pondering this for a while-this tips the scales and makes paying the charge worthwile for a line (getting it back from Sky when I switch to them of course)

    Don't worry most of the firms that use them will swap to 0844 or 0871
