Anyone with Sky for telephone calls

Do you know if they charge for calls to mobiles, even if your call does not get connected, as BT and Primus charge for an attempted call even if the mobile user does not answer the call.

Let me know, if they do how much is it each call.

Primus were charging 13p per non connected mobile call, think BT is 16p.

    BT & Primus don't charge unless the call is connected.

    At one time many many years back it used to cost to hear the busy tone and ringing tone when calling o2 (Cellnet) & Vodafone.

    One2One and Orange there's never been a charge unless connected to human or voicemail.

    The then OFTEL forced Cellnet and Vodafone to stop the practice too.

    If you are being charged, something is wrong.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Funny Primus & BT both charged for unconnected calls to my o2 mobile, now moved calls to Sky but line rental still with BT, lets hope I still do not get charged for unconnected calls, one month I was charged £4.00 from primus.
