Any calls made within your call plans are completely free up to 1 hour, after which you are charged at a standard rate of 3ppp for each minute over that hour.

Not wanting a sudden burst of people ringing customer services, but if you are still on the old 321 or OPOP call plans, then give customer services a ring and they will change you to TW free of charge.



Now I can see bit of an outcry starting over this, especially those who don't know that they call call CS and faults free on 150/151.



So this is the manner in which NTL recoup the losses of going back to free calls to customer services?
If anyone has not already done so there are companies out there far cheaper than NTL, let them know how you feel by using the power you all have to cancel the phone service on your contract, you can do this even if you are still in your 12 months minimum agreement because NTL have increased the charges on that particular service.
If you can do it jump ship from this company only going in one direction then do it, they are raking the money in again for the shareholders and upper management without a care for the customer.
Pay back time I think

All well and good if you only use the phone of a weekend
They really are taking the ****
