0845 / 0870 price change
 

On your bill, directs you to http://www.ntl.com/home/telephone/tariff.asp

From the 01 September 2004 the cost of calling 0845 and 0870 numbers is changing.

0845 4.50p daytime, 2.25p evening, 1.45p weekend (OUCH!)
0870 7.99p daytime, 3.85p evening, 2.99p weekend

0870 are a stinking ripoff anyway - http://www.saynoto0870.co.uk

Don't forget that NTL call charges are also subject to a 5p per call connection charge plus the timed element is rounded up to the nearest penny - adding, on average, another 0.5p per call.

With BT the charges are:

0845 3.95p daytime, 1.00p evening, 1.00p weekend
0870 7.91p daytime, 3.95p evening, 1.50p weekend
geographic 3.00p daytime, flat 5.5p for up to 1 hour evenings and weekends (on BT Together 1 tarrif)
all subject to a 5p per call minimum (not additional) call charge and all charges are rounded to the nearest penny.

all non-geographic numbers are a rip-off!

I'm trying to find out id Skype make an additional charge for 08 numbers because if they charge at the normal rate for them then I'm switching. I can't seem to find details on their site though, any ideas guys?

I think they are 10p a minute but I'm not at work so I can't check for sure.
