So how is Plusnet going to fund these calls ? I had heard that Ofcom challenged the industry and wanted to introduce changes but that they bowed to pressure from call centres and gave in. Has Ofcom had a re-think ?
I cannot belive that Plusnet is funding these premium rate calls, so what has happened ? have I missed soemthing ?

Also I have found that a lot have either stopped using them moving to 03xx or 0871 (which of course isn't free)

03xx is regarded for charging purposes the same as 01xx & 02xx, from any supplier. BT are, and PN soon will be, including 0845 & 0870 in their inclusive minutes, so will only be free 24/7 if you're on an Anytime package, fom BT or PN.
0871 is in a class of its own, and is charged for at all time s by all suppliers AFAIK.

You are correct, no mention of that 1p increase in the connection charge in the email. Come on Plusnet that was a bit on the naughty side, it would have only taken one sentence.

Quote from: shermans I have just received the email from Plusnet advising that 0870 and 0845 numbers will be included in the free calls with Home Phone from 22nd Octobe
Yay! But I never got that email
It was only when I saw today's email which said "Calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers" that I realised it! Up 'til now, I had been laboriously logging into saynoto0870.com for each call!
Just looking back, checking through spam and trash...nothing about the email you got.
Never mind, it's a good thing it's happened now, just wish I'd know about it before..

pierre_pierre makes a valid point, it's worth remembering that 0844 and 0871 are still chargeable (along with some exclusions to free 0845 and 0870, such as dial up internet services).
