Re: June Price changes announced
May I be the first to say
I wonder how may people will move to the 5p Talk Plan?
You would have to make a very large number of "free" local weekend calls and a relatively small number of evening local, national and weekend national calls to be better off on the new 321 tariff for the same £10.50 per month.

Re: June Price changes announced
Isnt the standard cost on the 5p plan just 5p? So if you talk for 20 seconds like "I'll be there in 10mins" you pay the same as if you chat for an hour? Sounds like they could make like, WOW, an extra penny or so from small calls, yet get stiffed on big calls

Re: June Price changes announced
am I reading this right?
analogue tv no price rise the £1 increase is because of line rental increase?
5p call plan is 5p per 60 minutes? and cheaper daytime mobile phone calls?

Standard 321 calls have a connection charge of 5p as well as being charged per minute. So any evening call over 15 seconds or weekend call over 30 seconds will cost more than 5p.
The only thing that would be cheaper on the new 321 tariff than the 5p plan will be local weekend calls, so you would have to make a lot of them and very little else to be better off on new-321.

Re: June Price changes announced
Well I've just got a VOIP phone specifically to reduce my NTL bill which is currently £100+ monthly. Dig TV might be next to go as Freeview is looking more attractive daily. If I didn't have kids it'd have gone a long time ago.

Re: June Price changes announced
5p talk plan looks good - it used to have calls to USA at 2p/minute too instead of the usual 10p so hopefully that is unchanged in the new tariff.
Does anyone know if the 5p per call connection charge is still applied to the 5p talk plan (is it up to 60 minutes for 5p or is it really 10p)?

No, it's only 5p with no connection charge. I moved to it when it was first introduced as it is about the cheapest option for most people. The talk unlimited plans may sound appealing but just think how many calls you have to make per month for them to be cheaper than the 5p plan.

No that's not correct.
It's 5p....and that's it. It won't be 10p.
