Edinburghlass said calls to 18185 were 5ppm then posted back and said 6ppm. Heinz, I thought, was referring to 18185 mobile charges with his reply saying it had gone to 5ppm. As I thought Heinz was referring about 18185 I said it was showing as 6ppm.
I'm confused
Basically, Discountdial charge 5ppm daytime to mobiles whereas Call18185 charge 6ppm daytime to mobiles.0 -

Sorry i thought you were aware that https://www.18185.co.uk and https://www.call18185.co.uk are the same outfit,and the domains lead to the same place.
I notice their are now 3 cheaper suppliers at 5p a minute using 0844 access numbers.See UK Call Checker.http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/ukcallchecker/
Also if you use a supplier with a low minimum call charge and second billing short peak calls will probaly be cheaper through your own supplier.0 -
I have let MSE Checkerman know about the increase on 18185 for calls to mobiles, weekdays, to 6p per minute so the MSE CallChecker will be adjusted as soon as possible0

All that Heinz was pointing out was that 18185's rate probably changed this morning [spotted fast by Edinburghlass], as the MSE Callchecker, not 18185, still had it as 5 pence
Anyway, EL's prompt spot (no, not a fast-developing zit) prompted me to update my signature link.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.

18185 use to charge 10p a minute to call from cable or mobile at peak/evening rate. They have reduced it to 6p.
