    Good news, folks. The high rate for calling UC Helpline will been scrapped from next month, on the news today lunchtime. About time too, in my view.

    There is no inherent "high rate" for calling an 03 number. The rate is exactly the same as whatever you pay for calls to 01 and 02 numbers.

    For most people this is unlimited calls for around £8 per month on landlines, £10 per month on contract mobiles or £15 per month on pay-as-you-go mobiles.
