Land lines are 01 and 02
And as guess National would be 0845 ect.
Not a clue what personal is, unless it's mobiles. 12 pence a min sounds about right for a mobile.0 -
Why don't you ask the provider, we can only guess?

National Rate is the discredited description of 0870 calls - for which BT now charges less than the figure you quote;
Personal numbers are the rip-off 070 range which Ofcom is thinking about moving to the vacant 06 range to avoid them being confused with mobile numbers.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.0 -
That's great then as the ones I would use are FREE!
Just get these VOIP boxes working now! lolHelp me to help you :santa2:0
