We are in process of revising our Telecoms pages, currently we cover cost options for Directory Enquiries and the cost of Non-Geographical calls, such as 0845 (Lo-Call) and 0870 National Rate. Our Landline survey was widely out of date so has been withdrawn for revision. This page has been introduced to ease navigation between these (and future) developments. We hope you find these useful.

 

LANDLINE CALLS (undergoing revision)        
DIRECTORY ENQUIRIES

192 is no more from August 2003 and directory enquiriesmust now be accessed by dialing six digit numbers starting with 118. Here a one minute search can cost you between 19p and 56p for one number.

NATIONAL RATE

"Calls are charged at the National rate" is what they tell you, but what does it mean? We show how the cost of an 0870 number, of five minutes duration, can cost anything from 5p to 49.5p depending on your service provider and the time and day of the week! 0800 is always free per minute, but a setup charge could be levied by some providers (not Telewest)
