Royal Mail still using 0845 numbers?

irfenton

I just got stung £38 trying to sort out my Royal Mail Business Account using the 0845 support number given on all their business web pages. Looks like the 0845 number still work out at 50p/minute on an O2 contract phone. No indication of costs given anywhere on the RM site.:(

What about this?

"Call us

The call charges must be stated immediately adjacent to the telephone number. In this example there is intervening text, so that's a failure to comply with the regulations.

The explanation that "mobile providers may have additional charges" is false. These calls have only an access charge and a service charge. The access charge from mobiles is usually higher than from landlines, but that isn't what they said.
