I've been noticing lately that BT appear to be charging more than they're suppose to for calls to other compaies' access number. Today i called a UK mobile number via telestunt and it cost me £1.73 instead of the £.130 it should have. Also, yesterday i called my fiancee in Benin and it should have cost me 3p per minnuit, two abortive attempts to call her should have cost me less than 3p but on Both occasions BT charged me 5p. Are they ripping the competitors and us off?

Using Telestunt's 0871 number will cost you 10p/minute to call a UK mobile (not the cheapest way of doing it).
5p is BT's minimum call charge.Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").0 -
Actually 4.8p is BT's minimum charge. .2p goes to the government."Some say the cup is half empty, while others say it is half full. However, this is skirting around the issue. The real problem is that the cup is too big."0

Pardon, crossley?
VAT is 17.5%.We measure the duration of each call to a fraction of a second so you're charged for the actual time you spend on the phone - the minimum charge for each call remains at 4.935p inclusive of VAT, 4.2p exclusive of VAT.0
