Surely 'Free E&W calls' must, by definition, be free?

At the moment they describe it as

"Unlimited FREE local and national landline calls of up to 60 minutes, during evenings or at the weekend"

But it costs a Monthly charge of £5.

So, that's "Unlimited [strike]free[/strike] local and national landline calls of up to 60 minutes, during evenings or at the weekend for a £5 (£3.75 from 1/10/06) monthly fee (subject also to the payment of a £1.76 per month membership fee)."

You could get the same thing (with a 90 minute, not 60 minute cap) for nothing if you just followed Martin's recommendation for a CPS provider.

Even just using www.call1899.co.uk, you could make 225 (183) UK 01/02 calls (of unlimited duration, not limited to 60 minutes) for £6.76 (£5.51) - and pay nothing if you didn't make any calls (e.g. when you're away on holiday).

Exactly!!!!! But i was intrigued to find out their new price from 1/10/2006,to see what was so good about it, that they might convert the sceptical.:rotfl:

Have now got hold of their new Phone Tariffs from 1/10/2006.Dont hold your breath.:D

More Talk 1. No change.

More Talk 2. Inclusive Evening & Weekend Calls reduced to £3.75 a month ,from £5.

More Talk 3. Inclusive calls 24/7 still £9.50p a month.

Plus the £1.76p a month service charge.

Hardly likely to convert members of this forum.

Comparing with BT:

Inclusive Evening & weekend calls £3.95 pm

Inclusive calls 24/7 £9.95

BT line rental £11.00 pm No service charge

UW line rental £10 pm plus £1.76 service charge

So I make BT cheaper in both cases. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Even more expensive if you use caller display.which is Free with BT.

My friend's phone was reconnected yesterday afternoon, apparently there was a problem at the exchange. An engineer called round to check a crackle on the line and said that it was not possible for the line/number to be temporarily assigned to another customer, my friend suggested they tell that to the lady down the road.

Did she make a citizen's arrest or did she get a policeman to hide in her bushes. (To arrest the BT thief you started this thread about).

(I hope you have read this thread and were able to advise your friend/customer about contacting uw at least once every 48 hours to claim her compensation)
