If you got a response and are listening to music on hold, yes your paying as much as 5p a minute possibly more.
Did you try http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php for an alternative number.0 -
48 minutes at a minimum of 5.105p/minute (the per minute charge for calling g6 rate 0844 561 numbers from a BT line) - you'd paid £2.50 by the time you posted.
If you were calling from a Virgin Media line, double that.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. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
Oh no. I've been holding for a total of 3 hours today........on a Sky line!!!! Still haven't got through. God knows how much it has cost me then...not happy at all. Checked the link above and found a land line (note to self - look before you ring in future). Thanks for your help.0
