BT Call Plan charges

kennyg123

I've just requested BT to change my calling plan from Evening and Weekend to Unlimited Weekend. As I pay by DD and have paperless billing I expect to pay £11.54 line rental per month. I also have BT 1571. I want to use 18185 for my calls during the week. I have read in their T's & C's that I will be charged an additional £1.00 per month unless I make at least 2 chargeable calls per month!!! Is a call at the weekend counted as a chargeable call, or do I have to make at least 2 calls during the week to avoid the £1.00 charge?

Thanks

Yes, it is.

The paper free discount is being removed so the rental will be £12.79

Snap, I could not see anything about it on the BT site but there is nothing to say you get a discount on the "sign up to paper free section"

EDit Looking in the wrong place, still there

" Phone service line rental is £11.54 a month with Direct Debit and paper-free billing. Otherwise add..... plus £1.25 without paper-free billing discount"

You didnt read it wrong but heres some more detail.

The paper free discount is being removed for new customers in the coming weeks but existing customers on paper free billing will still get the £1.25 off for now.

So we will all insist on paper bills??

Not a very corporate "green" policy on their part.

Yet another price increase from BT, I will go back to paper bills and at least reduce buy a quid or so the extra profit they will make on my account.

Next move will probably be to rebrand Saturday a weekday to cut "free" weekend calls to Sunday only.

We always took paper bills, since there was no discount - there was an insistence that in addtion to paper free bills, I hand over the keys to my bank account in the form of a direct debit mandate. No thanks, carry on sending paper bills please.

Any evidence to support this claim ?, I would be amazed if it were true, BT are pretty keen on their Corporate Social Responsibilty and have department that deals with all things green, given this claim is posted without any without any supporting evidence some people seem all too keen to accept this as true, perhaps a link to a BT site with this policy change quoted may convince me, but without something like that, it sounds like bovine excrement
