Is the above normal ?
I was going through my itemised bill and saw charges outside of my talk allowance and came to know that they were 'ringback' requests.

I just thought I would share this and anyone had the same experience.

    Its clearly stated in tariff that depending on what area your in a charge is raised for each call.

    It has crept up a little bit over the years but its always been there.

    Solution dont use it , or stop using VM telephony . :D

    What, and pay BT for theirs? :)

    Value added services are always a rip off and will always be - irrespective of which network provides it.

    . Did anyone mention BT.. As soon as you mention his beloved Virgin Media up pops Buzby to defend them .Yet he knows their call charges are expensive.

    Yes - any alternative provider includes BT.

    As for it being 'beloved' ? Some mistake - try 'least worst'. As for the charges, they all play leapfrog - you're not suggesting there is a cheaper carrier that offers 120Mb broadband on demand......?

    Thought not.
