[LUG] Phone charges

[Gordon Henderson <gordon+dcglug@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just noticed this:

  From 1st April 2010, BT is making residential price changes, increasing
  the call-set-up fee to 9.9p, daytime inland calls to 5.9p/min, and
  moving the day time charging period one hour later to 7am to 7pm (which
  mainly effects mobile and international calls).  Note business day time
  was already 7am to 7pm.  There is a new mobile band FM14, and the cost
  of calling BT directory enquiries on 118500 band DQ106 has increased to
  49p set-up and £1.16/min.

It makes my standard business rate of 2p a minute look positively cheap!

So if you use BT and don't have a call-package then start looking now!

And whatever you do - don't dial 118xxx - or if you absolutely must, then 
have a pen & paper handy to write down the number and call it yourself - 
£1.16 a minute is stupidly expensive...
