"Non-inclusive calls"

Looking through all the information available on this site, I perused the “Call Tariffs” pages – and there noticed the words “4.5p set up fee on non-inclusive calls”. Can anyone explain what the phrase “non-inclusive” means?
The package I was planning to have is the “Evening & Weekends” – but need to understand the terminology, so that I can decide whether it’s as good as scheme as I originally thought.
Thanks

In other words, for the Evening and Weekend package that you're looking at, a non-inclusive call would be a call to an 01, 02 or 03 number outwith 18:00-08:00 Mon-Fri and 18:00 Fri - 08:00 Mon. Non-inclusive calls are also calls to mobiles, 0845, 0870, 118xxx, 09xxx etc. (i.e. anything that isn't 01,02,03).
The 4.5p connection charge (6p on BT) is applied to these "non-inclusive" calls. You don't get charged the 4.5p connection cost for calls made to 01, 02 and 03 at evenings and weekends.
If an inclusive call (i.e. an 01,02 or 03 call made during the evening or at the weekend on the E+W package) goes over an hour you are not charged the 4.5p but are charged per minute for the time over an hour (same as with BT).
The same scenario applies to the Anytime+ package except that 01, 02 and 03 calls are inclusive 24/7.
Calls to 0800, 0500 and 0808 are always free.

Your first para looks muddled and incorrect

it could be your word outwith, which is a Scots or northern word not used by us southerners

Form PN's website under "Stuff you need to know" Note 1:
"Evening and weekends product included calls are to standard UK landline numbers beginning with 01, 02 & 03. Evenings: 18:00-08:00 Mon-Fri. Weekends: 18:00 Fri - 08:00 Mon.
Therefore, non-inclusive calls are calls outwith those times.
Edit:
Quote which is a Scots or northern word not used by us southerners
Could have something to do with me being Scottish

For the benefit of you southerners: outwith = not within, outside
