Re: 0870 rip off

It also states that the pricing will be bought in 18 months after the publishing date which has not yet arrived
Quote:
Ofcom has decided that changes to 0870 calls will be introduced 18 months after the conclusion of the wider Numbering Review (due for publication in summer 2006). The 12 month timetable for 0870 changes proposed last September has been revised to ensure coordination with the outcome of the Ofcom’s Numbering Review and to allow sufficient time for industry to make the changes required
and that people not wishing to follow this pricing can do so via a specified process.

If providers wish to charge more for 0870 calls they will have to make a free-to-caller price pre-announcement at the start of the call.
