BT Call Minder (Voicemail)

From 1st August 2004, BT are introducing a "Charge Per Activation" if you use 1471 and then press "3" to automatically dial the last number called. -
Cost? 6p per go.
Calls to BT's 118 500 service will now have a 40p set up charge against 25p before - although the price per minute rate halves to 15p.
BT previously claimed their average call duration was only 28 seconds. Based on this, users will now pay around 47p a call under the new tariff instead of 40p as before.
From 1st August 2004, the cost of using ringback (press 5 on engaged tone) is going up from 10p to 15p.
Calls to Timeline (Speaking Clock, 123 ) are increasing from 10p to 20p per call.

Apparantly BT are also abolishing the monthly call allowance of £2.15. Added to the line rental increase that's a 31.5.% rise. I don't know how they do it, but they even make NTL look good sometimes.
Can we change the title of this thread to somethng a little less misleading please?- just becasue BT say they are price cuts in the press release don't mean they are telling the truth.
