Help please regarding Liquid Telecom

I have got a long list of queries:

#Is it worth switching from 18899 to liquid telecom?
#Are there any hidden charges?
#any connection fee or monthly subscription fee?
#they have different plans to select,which one is best for making international calls from telewest landline?
#They are charging 2 pounds on opening the account...do they refund that?

I"ll be extremely thankful for replying to my queries

  • It might help if you could list a link to Liquid Telecom with some details about the service on offer.

    Did you mean 1899 or 18899 ?
    To infinity and beyond!

    I think the 'should I/shouldn't I?' question is quickly answered by referring to the MSE article and searching therein for any mention of Liquid Telecom (hint, there isn't any).

    EDIT 1235pm

    Having had a quick look at their rates, your 1899 calls to UK 01/02 numbers via their 08081708708 cable landline access number are 3p connection and 0p/minute. With Liquid Telecom it looks like you'd be paying 2.25p/minute or 1.25p/minute or 0.95p/minute depending on the time/day.

    Calling Spain, 1899 would charge you 3p connection and 1p/minute via their 08081708708 cable landline access number. LQ's rates appear to be 3p/minute.

    This is going to be quite an easy decision isn't it?
    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.

    actually my problem is that the country i want to make a call is not listed by 1899 so that's y i want to change it. I was only worried about any hidden charges?

    Ah. I see.

    In that case, I'd recommend staying with 1899 (08081708708) for your UK calls and using the MSE CallChecker and NiftyList to find your cheapest route to whatever country that is.
