I have called my friend who has a voip phone and account with "voipcheap" from my "plusnet" landline.
I just want to know what the rate is from plusnet landlines to voip phones in geneal and of course to voipcheap too.
thanks Dave..

Quote from: trizinger thanks for that, my friends number starts with 05 so will this be classed as local call rate when my landline is 01? thanks..
Hi
Theirs nothing stopping you to have more than 1 voip account you too could setup an account with voipcheap that way if you call your friend on your voipcheap account the call should be free

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
CB.
Just to add calls to 05 numbers are in the g21 charging band which is charged at approx 5p/min daytime rates on plusnet homephone and 4.784p/min (inc. VAT) from BT landlines.
Hope this helps.

Quote Just to add calls to 05 numbers are in the g21 charging band which is charged at approx 5p/min daytime rates on plusnet homephone and 4.784p/min (inc. VAT) from BT landlines.
From 1st January 2010 the cost of calling g21 numbers from PN will be 4.89p/min daytime, 2.00p/min evening and 1.18p/min weekend (plus a 9.3p set up fee in all cases) - see new call tarrif here.
BT's rates will likely change then as well to reflect the re-instatement of the 17.5% VAT rate. (BT currently 4.16p/min ex vat daytime which would be 4.89p/min inc VAT at 17.5%. Applying 17.5% VAT to the evening and weekend rates from the BT pricelist makes them 2.00p/min and 1.18p/min respectively).
It should be noted though that some g21 (i.e. 05 range) numbers are classed as national rate and therefore inclusive calls on BT packages - not sure if PN do the same. The relevant detail is on page 4 of this BT price list:
Quote * - “UK” includes calls to 0870 numbers and to any number range charged at g21 rates and
shown as 11 under categorisation for Customer Options in Section 2, Part 11 of the BT Price
List.
The relevant part of the full BT price list is here. The codes which *should* be inclusive in packages (i.e. the same as 01,02,03) on BT are 0551107, 055114, 05516, 055554 and 056.
I think that's right - the BT price list is an absolute nightmare to decipher!!!
Hopefully Mand will be able to clarify whether or not PN apply the same criteria.

Currently only 0500 calls are free.
Other 05 calls are either classified as g6 or g21, and so would be charged accordingly.
