The International and UK CallCheckers

Options
Hi guys,

We are planning to revamp the callcheckers soon and wanted to ask for any suggestions you might have that would improve them.

You can have a look at them here:
This isn't about call quality, as we say in the articles these are no-frill budget providers and sometimes call capacity is tight.

A couple of things we will be adding will be:

Calling from mobiles
A country code list and time difference.

Any suggestions for us to consider please click reply to respond!

Thanks very much.

    The UK mobiles legend needs to have 075 added (O2 have been issuing 075 numbers since the beginning of the year at least).
    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.

    Hello

    I have been meaning to contact you for ages.
    Often the UK call checker to UK mobiles (eves and days) is misleading for viewers.
    Often there are several 5p a min dialthro numbers via 0844 there. When people phone them they are advised to dial a new 6p a min number. This msg costs subscribers 11p via BT. The numbers seem to change by the day. They then disappear from MSE only to reappear , only to lead to same problem (sometimes if you are quick/lucky they work for a short time)

    I will give some names when I next see them.

    Suggest these people arent listed until they have a decent track record.

    I would welcome your views.

    Hello MSE

    As promised in my last post the 2 listings at 5p a min to UK mobiles no longer work. They worked yesterday.

    Both www.1pminute.co.uk and www.abroadcall.co.uk websites now state 6p a minute. But on MSE are listed at 5p.

    Would it be an idea to delist these people until they steady their prices.

    Regards

    Instead of just a 'Weekend' comparison, could this now be split into 'Weekend Day' and 'Weekend Evening', so that BT's different pricing could be clearly brought into the picture ?
