I'm terrible at forum posting.:o I meant had the calls been made free using BT's anytime calling plan then only the calls under 1 hour would be free. The calls over 1 hour would be charged. Yes, I know hang up and dial again...

The calls under an hour are also charged. Everybody is informed of the charge incurred on their bill.

there's no mention of whether Line Rental Saver will be available in future years.

According to the help section on BT.com,

How will I know when my Line Rental Saver term is coming to an end?
Your Line Rental Saver doesn't automatically renew. But don't worry, we'll email you about a month before the 12-month term ends to let you know how and when to reapply for Line Rental Saver. This information will also be on your bill.

Free, means without charge, inclusive means just that, they are inclusive.

Free can mean 'free of charge' but it can also mean 'free of cost'. There is a vast difference between the two.

'Inclusive' can mean whatever you want it to mean. it is possible to have (using what I think you mean by inclusive) inclusiive calls which are free of cost and charge and inclusive calls which are free of cost but not of charge.

This abuse of the word " free " is misleading and only serves to help companies get away with using it incorrectly.

Companies are not the only offenders.

No difference at all, if, as is usually the case, they are not free at all.

If you need to make a payment in any way to receive a product or service, however it is dressed up, it is not free.

Considering you have already said

Free, means without charge, . . . .

you are maintaining that being asked for a payment for something means it is not without charge; which seems obvious to me. A payment is required for calls lasting less than an hour a weekends so they are not free (of charge). You might want to explore whether they are really free (of cost).

Maybe you may want 'cost free' and 'charge free' to have the same meaning? BT caller display is clearly charge free (no payment is ever asked for it) so on that basis it would be cost free too.
