As a matter of interest, I agree with your latter points. But we weren't talking about
sitting in queues
, it was about the
multi-choice options
. Queues happen whichever number you use, Geo or Non-Geo !
As for the
3/7p a min for the privilege
, try looking at the TRUE cost to those without  the benefit of inclusive call plans. Doh !! It's the same ! Well I never.

My point was to find out from you -
Quote:
How do they do this ? Which way is this
virtual monopoly
set up ?
and to make the point on Telcos charges, which you obviously ignored.
Instead of sidestepping, try answering the questions and
read before you write
!

I did not want to further repeat the original link in this, from Dr Feltham, as it was quite lengthy - have you read it?
Sitting in queues and multi-choice options are invariably directly linked, and I only mentioned them after you postulated that these multi choice options get you through to someone 'quicker' and 'you pay less'!!  No one I have ever spoken to seems to agree with that.
I see that BT have just increased charges by stealth, insisting all customers go onto their Option 1, no 'line only rental now'.  Presumably "a good thing"?
Since privatisation BT have found it very hard to 'let go' and face true competition on their lines (or were they our lines??).  Hopefully OFCOM will show some teeth, although I am not hopeful.
As an obviously 'interested party' nothing anyone says will change your position, so be it.

Kevin Kearney,

I note that you have posted here some or all of your response to the last Ofcom "consultation". However I also note that you are not included within the Ofcom published responses? Since you were prepared to publish your response on this forum I would presume that you did not withhold your permission for Ofcom to publish your response?

I am collecting examples of where Ofcom have evidently attempted to conceal the real number of adverse responses which they received on this subject. Can you please inform me whether you actually submitted your response on an official Ofcom form and whether you submitted it specifically as a consultation response rather then a complaint?  Also what date did you submit it please. I already have significant evidence that Ofcom have deliberately covered up the true avalanche of responses which they received.

I do not see the percieved problem with calling an 0845 number. Are you saying that these are not charged at a local call rate (other than from a mobile) ?


Calls to 0845 are not charged at a local call rate from landlines or mobiles, they're charged at the originating operator's 0845 'special services basic rate' rate which is, in almost every case, significantly higher than their local rate, and in most cases significantly higher than their national rate (where there's a distinction between local and national rate).

Faz referred to a website that identifies the operator associated with a given code but couldn't remember the address.  Its http://www.ukphoneinfo.com/section/home/introduction.shtml for anybody interested.
