BT weekend mobile calling charge

I don't suppose anyone knows the answer to this obscure question, but here goes anyway.
Bt's old price list (commencing 2 September 2008) for residential calls
http://www.serviceview.bt.com/list/public/current/Call_Charges_boo/0016_d0e5.htm#0016-d0e5
says that calls to mobiles (classified as fm1/2/3/4 etc...) are around 5p per minute at the weekend.
So I made some calls routed through BT.
When I found out that I was charged around 12p per minute I phoned BT to query the discrepancy I was referred to another price list.
I was wondering if anyone knows when the September price list became outdated?
The same price list was updated at least on the 17 January 2009.

You did take the (then) 7p 'call set-up fee' on each call into account, didn't you?londondulwich wrote: »Bt's old price list (commencing 2 September 2008) for residential calls

Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
Yes Heinz.
Does anyone know when the pricing changed?0 -
The latest price list is the January 2009 one.

That appears to show them to be 'approximately 5p/minute' (4.894p) too.
Were your calls to '3' mobiles by any chance? They're much more expensive.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market.
