Last chance to make free / cheap BT calls at 6pm

Hi all,

Seeing as BT like to "bury bad news" in their lengthy literature (when they can even be bothered to send out correspondence, that is), I thought BT customers would like a BIG REMINDER that tonight, March 31st, is the last evening you can made reduced price calls from 6pm.

From tomorrow, you'll be charged a whopping connection fee as well as paying hefty daytime rates until 7pm. That is unless you subscribe to their propaganda that paying an extra fiver a month is worth it for free calls 24/7

The thread introducing the topic is here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2161401 but I feel that the more people are reminded this week, the better.

    Just another reminder.. charges apply bank holidays too.

    I know today feels like a Sunday, but if you pick up that receiver now, you'll be charged top whack. Give it another half hour yet ;)
