Text message on answerphone

aurion22

I've also had an answerphone message asking me to call 07953 966066 and I've just found this information online at:
http://www.callforless.co.uk/special_dcs.htm .

This is NOT just an ordinary mobile number and the costs of phoning it are:

Daytime 24.86ppm
Evening 16.94ppm
Weekend 4.56ppm

BEWARE!! DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER!!

This is not a scam. T-Mobile and BT are the only operators which allow SMS messages to be sent to a landline.

no it's not...i've texted a virgin landline from both orange and O2 mobiles.

Unfortunately, you have come across a seriously out-of-date website (it was last updated more than seven years ago - on 7 July 2001) and, as a result, those prices are completely wrong.

If you refer to an up-to-date version of BT's own Specialised Numbers Price List, you will see that all 07953 numbers are charged at fm3 rate:

Daytime 12.723ppm incl VAT } These prices
Evening -7.830ppm incl VAT } accurate
Weekend -4.894ppm incl VAT } 20-12-2008

OTOH, there aren't many on MSE who use BT for calling mobile numbers - except, possibly, at the weekend when less than 5p per minute, although not the cheapest available, is not a bad price!
