I think it will mean that if you are on a basic package of 3p per min. Then every call will cost at least 10p as you will pay 6p connection fee then 3p + vat instantly as time is rounded up to the next highest minute. Most short calls are of 2 - 3 minutes so that makes the cost of a call nearer to 20p a time.
Perhaps us low phone users are paying for the price cuts to the higher phone users on special packages. From last month I moved some of my phone calls and texts to Skype as you could see that price rises were planned.
