Hmm.

Their current tariff has 0845 calls at 6.85p per min.

The link you posted has them at 6.84p per min (not the 6.45p per min quoted in your earlier post)

The 9.79p per min price I quoted is from their new October 2009 price list which comes into effect tomorrow , not their current one.

Whatever the real answer is, makes little difference to me. I always use SAYNOTO0870.COM and doesn't cost me a penny extra.

BT and TalkTalk offer 0845 and 0870 calls inclusive in talk packages,

Those who have Sky Talk,Virgin National,Tiscali Smart Talk or any other CPS provider WHO DO pay there line rental to BT can take advantage of free calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers on saturdays and sundays by dialling 1280 in front of any 0845 or 0870 number. BT Together Option 1 is usually set up on peoples lines who subscribe to such CPS services. 1280 overides such providers and instead routes calls through BT, BT offer free calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers at weekends on BT Together option 1.

Virgin Media Cable customers can use Talk Anywhere plans which give you a bundle of minutes for use to call 01,02,03,0845,0870,mobiles and even international mobiles and landlines, the package costs are equivalent to call all these destinations at 4p per minute, there is no call connection charge on these types of calls. Minutes ARE NOT deducted on calls made to freephone numbers and remain free of charge.

All offers above by the mentioned providers are subject to fair usage policies.

NOTE:

Sky customers who want to keep there line rental with BT should avoid Sky Talk as it works out more expensive, BT can offer you unlimited evening and weekend calls for the same price as BT Together Option 1, however this is subject to a renewable contract. BT Together option 3 is also cheaper than Sky Talk's unlimited plan and as usual, BT offer inclusive calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers.

Virgin TV customers who use BT can save a packet by hanging up on BT and taking a Virgin phone line as the TV package becomes cheaper when you do this.

Virgin Media will eventually offer inclusive calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers to keep with the competition.

Thanks for that m419, where did you get all of that information?

[m419]

the 1280 feature is advertised by BT to those who use another provider for calls, all the other information on tariffs and calling plans from Virgin Media,TalkTalk and BT can be found on there websites, Thats all lol I thought I'd put all the information together and put it on here to save people the hassle.
