Happy to oblige - see HERE.

BTW, BT is the cheapest for such calls EXCEPT between 0600 and 1800 Monday to Friday - when www.18185.co.uk's charge of 4p connection and 4p per minute is far cheaper than BT for anything except a call of less than a minute.

Does the chart mean it is 1.5p per minute or £1.50 per minute. That is what is confusing me.

The BT table shows prices in pence per minute.

N.B. If you're on one of the BT Together packages, you can confirm those prices on Page 27 of THIS DOCUMENT.

Heinz, that price list is for only the few 0870 numbers that begin with what they have listed.

This acrobat format price list from BT (specifically page 27) states the calls cost:-

             Daytime      Evening         Weekend
0845    3.0ppm        1.0ppm          1.0ppm
0870    7.5ppm        3.7ppm          1.5ppm


Prices are in pence per minute (eg 7.5pence a minute for an daytime call to 0870).  As mentioned earlier, this is from a BT landline for customers on BT Together Tariffs (which is most customers).  Those calling from other landline providers generally cost a little more.  From mobiles it can cost upto 40ppm.

Yes.  And it shows ALL the price variations for 0870 numbers.

It's pence per minute - see my post #7 (above).

If, as I have said, www.18185.co.uk can charge £0.04 per minute between 06:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday (i.e. peak times), do you seriously think that even rip off BT could charge £1.50 per minute at the weekend?

One last time.

BT charge BT Together Option 1, 2 & 3 customers £0.0751 per minute peak rate, £0.0375 per minute weekday evenings and £0.015 per minute at weekends to call MOST (but not all, see above) 0870 numbers.

Goodbye.
