How much to call mobiles with Sky?

I have Sky phone and wondered how much does it cost per minute to phone mobiles? I cant find this information on their website. I am on the top phone package.

thanks in advance

    If you're on Sky Talk Freetime, calls to UK mobiles will cost you 11.62p/minute daytime and 6.97p/minute evenings/nights (but with no separate weekend rate).

    If you're on Sky Talk Anytime, calls to UK mobiles will cost you 9.18p/minute daytime and 5.15p/minute evenings/nights (but with no separate weekend rate).

    18185 operates weekday and weekend rates (i.e. no separate evenings/nights rate) and charges are 6p/minute weekdays (incl. evenings) or 5p*/minute weekends (incl. weekend evenings/nights).

    * The weekend rate via the 0808 1 703 703 freephone gateway number is 4.5p per minute.

    In summary, therefore, Sky is 0.85p/minute cheaper weekday evenings/nights IF you pay £5/month for its Anytime package.
    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.
