Ofcom - Call costs guide
Jul 1st, 2011 at 10:31pm
 
Ofcom has drawn up a Call costs guide.

I guess it replaced the "User's guide to numbering" we discussed a few years ago.

Using BT as a guide! As has been said many times on here, they are not a good enough guide:-
"The prices in the guide are based on the cost of calls from a BT landline and other providers’ prices may vary."

It says,  Prices correct as of 18/02/2011

Haven't they gone up since then? Undecided

The item referred to at the link given is the same document as that referred to here - not a replacement. It has undergone a few modifications (in the right direction) and had some of the figures updated. Whilst it may be of some value in a very general sense, it is still misleading on some key points.

It has not been updated since February 2011 (nor has it been re-launched recently).

It is well understood that it is BT which is the exception from the general rule, because it alone is subject to regulation of some of its call charges. This makes BT wholly unacceptable for use as a model from which others are said to vary - it is BT that varies from the rest. Although BT is the largest single provider of telephone call services, it only originates around 25% of non-business calls.
