...Distributors say that 0845/0870 calls will be inclusive not free from 1/4/2009 ...

Am I missing something here, but I thought 0845 & 0870 numbers have been inclusive in BT's calling plans since January

A friend of mine who has a card says you can and that you can also get 5% off Payg Top Up Cards.

He got a BQ voucher in JS with his card and then got another 10% off (Over 60) in BQ.

Thanks for that. This card is getting better by the minute. So, effectively, you can get 5% cashback/UW bill credit from other stores on the High Street that aren't even included in the UW cashback scheme. :eek:

At least they are going to offer them unlike some other suppliers. EG Skytalk ,Virgin Media .:D

It would be interesting to know if they are going to have a fair use policy,and a restriction on calling indirect access numbers like BT. Perhaps one of their distributors can tell us.

I think the reason they aren't going to offer them is their business plan's viability relies on overcharging for such calls. I reckon their was much consternation and gnashing of veneers in both Sky and VM Towers when BT surprised the market with the 0845/0870 announcment (even if, true to BT form, the massive price increases in very small print at the bottom of the press statement means they will be getting back far more than they are paying out with inclusive 0845/0870).

Hopefully for Telecom Plus sake all their distributors are not like him. I wonder if his friend Charles knows the damage he is doing by his posts.

The best salesman I ever employed was nutty as a fruitcake. They are a bit like goalkeepers, I suppose...
