BT price rise

Got an email from BT today telling me of price rises as of 22nd August for their Friends & Family International service. The band 1 rate (covering USA & Rep.Ireland) is rising from 2.9 to 6ppm, a 100% increase.

A bit steep, isn't it?

On the other hand, I was sent a voucher offering me their Unlimited Anytime call package for £5.99pm for a year, instead of the usual £8.99 I pay, so that's nice. Probably because I don't make that many calls and they were worried I might downgrade to Evenings & Weekend.

Cheers.
