BT Phone Costs

[watervole]

I just got a note from BT:
We'd also like to make you aware of some changes to our prices, terms and conditions, effective from 1st April 2010. These include changing what we define as the evening call period for all types of calls: at the moment from 6pm-6am, but changing to 7pm-7am. For more details about this change, as well as changes to our call set-up fee and daytime rate, please see below.

Watch out for that one if you're in the habit of making early evening phone calls.

However, on the plus side,
• Calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers - included at no extra cost:

 

-	During the weekend if you have our Unlimited Weekend Plan.
-	During evenings and weekends if you have our Unlimited Evening & Weekend Plan.
-	At any time if you have our Unlimited Anytime Plan.

So if you make your calls to 0845/0970 during the period when you'd normally get free phone calls, then those are free as well -but NOT during the rests of the day.

During the day, it's still cheaper to use 18185   BT aren't even in the same game when it comes to overseas calls.  I can call a phone (landline or mobile) overseas for less than the cost of some UK  calls!

I switched over to Onetel for my calls but would quite like to find a company which has a good rate to Cyprus...

Gosh. That company you directed us to says I can have 1p per minute to landlines. Excellent.

Ah, I see you just found it for yourself.

18185 do 1p/min to a Cyprus landline - you may be able to use them alongside Onetel. You'll need to check the website. (they're a pre-select dialler)

I use Onetel as a pre-select dialer, yes. Hmmm.
