Plusnet STILL advising mobile users not to use 0800 to contact them.

w23 — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 09:21:16 GMT

Come on Plusnet, please catch up.
From 1st July 2015 Freephone numbers have been free to call from UK mobiles - surely a company in the telecoms business is aware of this: http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/news/simpler-call-charges/

Freephone will mean free
Also as part of UK Calling, from the start of next month Freephone numbers (beginning 0800 and 0808) will become free for consumers to call from mobile phones, just as they generally are from landlines.

But, if you can find it, the telephone numbers on the Plusnet website seem to ignore this:

Customer support
From landlines: 0800 432 0200
From mobiles: 0345 140 0200

Customer sales
From landlines: 0800 432 0080
From mobiles: 0330 123 0170
8am - 8pm Monday to Friday
9am - 7pm Saturday

If we're closed you can use our Sales Enquiry form and one of our sales advisors will call you back.
Please have your payment details ready if you'd like to place an order.

People on basic pay as you go (or anyone who has used up their inclusive minutes) will be charged for calling the suggested 0345 or 0330 numbers!
With long call waiting times for customer support this could potentially cost someone a fair bit.

I flagged this up on the 14th August in this thread. https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,142735.0.html
HarryB needs to get a bigger stick and start hitting people to get them to make those changes. I have also informed OFCOM of this too.
