Title: question about calling mobiles Post by crashuk on May 13th, 2006 at 5:23pm
was reading this posts and some1 said phonecheap.co.uk was 2p per min i looked at the site and it says 3 p per min now looking and reading it also says that 0844 is charged by the provider of your line like bt etc.. so is it a one of charge for the connection fee or is it per min to use the 0844 number then the 2p change .
So iam with talk talk to call a 0844 they charge 4p during the week and 1.5p at the weekend.So 4p plus 3p = 7p per min to call a moblie using phonecheap. if you use 18185.co.uk it 4p connection fee and 2p during week ends and 5p during the week, so it works out to be 6p/9p for the 1st min then 2p/5p for every other min. Just dont understand why people say phonecheap is cheap. |

I think you'll find you are wrong with what TalkTalk charge for calls to 0844 numbers. They vary, depending upon the 5th and subsequent digits, not on day/time of day.
If you still pay BT for your line rental and make such calls on BT (i.e. do not CPS your calls to a cheaper provider like Primus), you will pay BT's advertised rates for 0844 calls (see HERE). As you will see, those charges vary between 0.5p and 5p per minute depending upon the 5th and subsequent digits. If you CPS your calls, you may pay more (e.g. OneTel, before they were taken over by CPW/TalkTalk, announced that they would charge 10% more than BT for 084/087 calls). If you CPS your calls, the cheapest way of making 084/087 calls is to 'hop back onto' BT by using the 1280 prefix EXCEPT for 0870 calls weekday daytimes (when 18185, at 4p connection and 4p per minute, works out cheaper than BT's 7.51p/minute for all but the shortest calls). |

As Heinz says, the amount you pay to call 0844s varies depending on your provider and the number. I think that TalkTalk charge the same as BT for 0844s. |
