Agreed, but I've been using it since the day it launched without problems (calling Spain).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. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

Heinz - Any idea of a way to get a cheaper rate to an 08442 number ?Sorry, I have no idea (I picked it up from another forum a while ago).
(SKY TV). They seem to have blocked all standard landline numbers and 0800's. At 5p per minute it is not much fun !! Thanks. (Not shown on UK callchecker)."0844 COSTS YOU MORE"0 -
I'm afraid not. I had to suffer that this week too (92p according to my BT online 'Recent Calls' list).Heinz - Any idea of a way to get a cheaper rate to an 08442 number ?

Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help? I am thinking of joining Talk Talk for my Line Rental, calls and Broadband.
I still want to be able to call numbers using an override number (e.g. 18866) but they say that this may not be possible.
They quoted that it may be possible with some providers but not others. This seems a little strange to me!
Anyone know the answer?0 -
Welcome to the MSE forums youngy42.
They can bar all such override providers if you hand your line rental to them. The agent you spoke to was clearly 'being economical with the truth.'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.

It seems worth commenting that using the 5p method for daytime landlines fails if your average number of calls is 100 or more. We make a quite a few calls doing some charity group stuff, which comes in bursts, so last month made 146 after weeding out the evening & weekend calls (59). On that kind of rate - even every other month - it seems to me it can be worth paying the fixed amount for BT anytime (or one of the others) especially as you can't know until afterwards. :eek:0
