    Thank you, Heinz.

    (Flip, you wuz quick.)

    If I'm not asking too much could you point the way to the bit that says calls to 01- and 02-numbers via 18185 are of unlimited length, please? With all things computer-y I really am all thumbs (and increasingly tin-eyed, too, I suspect).

    Thanks again,

    AF.

    You pay for connection plus a rate per minute once connected.


    Calls to 01/02 numbers are charged at 0p per minute or 1p per minute depending how you access the service.


    No maximum length of call (just like BT etc)

    Bizarre as it may seem, they really couldn't care how long your calls last as long as you pay them their advertised rate!
    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.
