Re: The 5p Talk Plan
So lets try and clarify/roundup:
1. Do either/both/neither still include the NTL to NTL local (evening and weekend) concession - I use that more than anything.
2. The 5p plan cuts the evening calls to 5p (did we find out if that's the 5p connect, or another 5p on top?).
3. The 5p plan adds 5p to the price of a weekend call (unless the 5p connect is still charged on the "free" call, and IS the 5p in 5p plan)
If it IS 5p connect for the "free" call - and that's the kind of dirty trick you expect NTL to pull, and the same 5p on the 5p plan, then the 5p plan would be a complete no-brainer.
Just depend if they do give with one hand and claw it back with the other.
So, that's what it boils down to...
Is the "free" Weekend call completely free, or is it 5p + free time (like the NTL to NTL local).
Is the 5p plan call a 5p connect only, or that plus another 5p?

Just to clarify - again - the 5p call plan means the call costs 5p. End of story. I'm on it myself and that's the only cost involved. No connection fee, no nothing.

That is a good question. I had assumed that the free weekend local call was completely free but it may inccur a 5p connection charge just like the old "free" off-peak NTL-local calls.
A further note is that the new free weekend calls are only local and not national. The 5p plan is a flat 5p for evening and weekend, local and national calls.

Re: The 5p Talk Plan
I sticking with 1899.com for my calls - 3p for any length of call at any time. Even calls to some countries are 3p regarless of the length (though some have gone back to the normal rates).
The good news is that I'll be using NTL to phone people at the weekends as it is completely free. I don't think I'll be any better off due to the extra £1 line rental, but don't think I'll be worse off either.
When do I start getting the free weekend calls?

I am fairly certain that it is Saturday and Sunday only.
Edit: Oh, and public holidays.
