    Calls cost 10p/min at all times from a BT landline


    What we can help you find:

    Business Type in a Location
    (e.g. Florists in London)

    Business Name in a Location
    (e.g. Barclays in London)

    A Person in a Location
    (e.g. Smith A in London)

    UK Area Codes
    (e.g. Whats the area code for Manchester?)

    International Dialing Codes
    (e.g. Dialing code for New York, USA)
    5 x SPAM posts reported.

    In any case, the fact that you have spammed and lied about the cost of your 'service' (the charges for calling your g25 rate number* from a BT landline are not 10p/minute but 10.2p fixed fee for the first 60 seconds and then 10.212p/minute at all times), doesn't encourage business, does it?

    Your website also states the 10p/minute lie and, laughably, also states, "Prices obtained from the BT.com website 03/09/2011."

    Whoever did the checking should've gone to Specsavers perhaps?

    * which I haven't copied into this post
    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.

    The pricing information was obtained from both the BT.com website and a couple other sources.
    Perhaps you should get staff who know how to access the necessary information (that would seem vital for your business).

    BT's sites may be convoluted but calls costs are not hidden.
