And, before any, "18185's website shows......" posts arrive, a comparision between a few calls providers shows:

For those on BT's Unlimited Weekend Plan, the below shows the charges they'll pay for 0845 calls:

0845

---

Weekday- Evening---Weekend

BT

---

8p + 2p/min. -½p/min.---0p*/min.(* No set-up fee, up to 60 mins.)
Sky

---

8p + 6p/min. -6p/min.---6p/min.
18185

---

5p + 3p/min. -½p/min.- -½p/min.
08081703703 5p + ½p/min.--½p/min.- -½p/min. (Tariff announcement prices)
08081703703 4p + 3p/min.--3p/min.- -1p/min. (Website prices)
1899

---

5p + 3½p/min.-3½p/min.--3½p/min.
18866

---

5p + 4p/min. -4p/min.---2p/min.

All prices include VAT @ 17½% (a slight reduction applies throughout 2009 - while VAT remains reduced at 15%)

Hence, the cheapest routing for 0845 calls appears to be:

--Weekday

---

Evening

---

Weekend
08081703703*-08081703703*3----BT

---

(*18185's freephone gateway number)
