Voipcheap.com rates increased slightly

I run a script to check for changes in UK calls rates on voipcheap.com daily.

Here are the results for today (rates in euro):

Call type | Rates without VAT | Rates with VAT
< United Kingdom (Mobile) SuperDeal! 0.070 0.081
< United Kingdom [0845 Rate] 0.040 0.046
< United Kingdom [national Rate] 0.100 0.116
< United Kingdom [personal] 0.180 0.209
---
> United Kingdom (Mobile) SuperDeal! 0.070 0.083
> United Kingdom [0845 Rate] 0.040 0.048
> United Kingdom [national Rate] 0.100 0.119
> United Kingdom [personal] 0.180 0.214

What is odd is that the excluding VAT rate has not changed but the including VAT rates have increased slightly.

That is because they have had some server problems causing delays in updating some areas, and what you have found reflects the increase in German vat at the turn of the year.

I think the VAT went up from 16% to 19%
