All I can see are code numbers like pn1, pn2 etc and no indication as to which numbers fit which cost.
Any ideas? The initial message when I ring the number gives a horrendously expensive BT price and the calls I made aren't as yet showing on my calls list.

Do you have the first 5 digits of the number? I should be able to see which call destination group it first in to.

I tried the ward number originally but you have to wait so long to reach it, with a long message about swine flu before you can input the extension number! Then, the person I was ringing wan't able to walk down to the phone, so I had to leave a message for them.
Sure it's a rip-off number from what it says about how much BT lines are charged and that mobiles are charged even more.

Interestingly when my friend transferred to the private wing all calls were free.

PS It's at a major London hospital rather than a local hospital.

It's definitely not your average phone and cable.
The whole idea of them was always misconceived in my view because of the cost/benefit mismatch.
In my recent experience (F-I-L in a coronary ward) the staff used to bring the cordless phone over from their desk to enable patients to take incoming calls from friends & family. But some people did actually use the entertainment system, we even considered it for him as we knew he'd be there for a week and you could buy a 5-day package at a not unreasonable price.
Edit: CofE - in general mobiles are not allowed in large parts of hospital. I think due to the risk of interfering with life-critical equipment.

I always find it funny that an NHS hospital asks you to not use a mobile whereas a private hospital has no such rule.

and some of the NHS hospitals have mobile transmitters on the roof as they get paid for them.

Quote from: artmo I think the real reason for banning mobiles in hospitals is the inconvenience to other patients.
What is the difference between using a mobile or the supplied telephone system on the ward? I believe that a problem was with the contracts signed between the telphone/entertainment system supplier specifically having clauses banning mobiles which if not adhered will cost the hospital money.
