    Call1899 haven't increased their prices in a while compared with Call1899 so there is a chance they will follow themselves with a 1p connection fee increase.

    bbb i'd agree .... differrent if they were all differrrent companies fighting with each other but all owned together they're daft for having big variances,

    Well it was too good to last. I've been with 18866 for a few months now and I've also got my mother's number on my account so that she can have free calls.

    I'd only just realised they'd gone from 3p to 4p yesterday, now it's 5p.

    They're still cheaper than BT for daytime national calls though.

    Looks like it's time to change to 1899.com
