Phone Call Charge Query

[#1]

I’m on talk anytime.  Are calls to 012357 numbers inclusive or are they chargeable?

[#2]

01, 02, 03, 0800, 0500, 0845, 0870 are all included on the new packages, 0845 is not on the legacy 240

[#3]

I've been charged £4.07 for a 2hr 30min call to an 012357 number.  It seems very high

[#4]

You are limited to 59m 59 secs, after that you pay the full rate, you should have hung up and reconnected

[#5]

Yeah, I forgot to hang up    But £4.07 for 1.30mins is pretty high.  I know I didn't pay anything near that with BT.

[#6]

You'd pay for 90 mins of that call (only the first 60 mnis are included).  90 x 0.045p = £4.05. (The extra 2p amounts to 26 seconds or so so your call was probably 2hrs 30 mins 26 secs.)

I'm saving money with plusnet phoning abroad but I think if I was not phoning abroad I would be cheaper with BT

PN charge 4.5p per minute for out of bundle calls irrespective of time of day (plus 9p set up where that applies)
BT charge 5.25p/min from 6am to 6pm and 1.45p/min from 6pm to 6am (plus 9.05p set up where applicable)

So BT are a lot cheaper

AT NIGHT

Hi there,
BT are cheaper for 01, 02, 03 calls outside of the allowance at night, and for a small selection of 0845 non inclusive calls. On pretty much everything else we're cheaper.
The best thing I can suggest is redialling after 59 mins.

Hi Mand
Thanks for reply.  Yes, I should have redialled but didn’t expect to be on the phone so long.   I think you still work out cheaper overall with cheaper line rental and the inclusive calls to Spain I can make free of charge for 30 mins.
