Title: Call Waiting. When does the clock start?
Post by Gary on Jul 29^th, 2004 at 6:13pm

More and more people and small businesses use call waiting. When I ring a person who has this service does anyone know if I am charged when I get "the person knows you are waiting" message or when (if) they actually answer?

Charges start when the call is connected to the called number. You are not charged for the "The person you are calling, knows you are waiting" message.

I know this, because I used a BT Street Callbox and got the waiting message, but wasn't charged until the call was answered - much cheaper for the caller, who ends up paying when connected to 1571.
