Title: Have the BBC finally got it? Post by derrick on Feb 19th, 2009 at 10:47am
Whilst listening to Money Box Live on Radio 4 via digital on my TV yesterday, the onscreen display had various information, one of these displays, (to call them on), stated; - "Call 03700 100 444. [Calls cost no more than to 01,02 landline numbers]"
I feel that gets the correct message across and it does not differentiate between landline or mobile callers, although it took them a long time to realise! |

Still using 0871 for Question Time as well! But my point was really about them getting the explanation for 03 right, eventually. |
Title: BBC Still Getting Announcements Wrong on 03 Post by NGMsGhost on Feb 20th, 2009 at 3:32pm
Derrick,
Sadly your optimism seems to be misplaced as the old "calls costs up to 8p per minute" announcement was being given out by the station announcer for the 03 number for BBC Radio 4's Feedback immediately following the airing of today's (Friday 20th February 2009) program. I sent the following email as a result. By the way the continued use of 0871 by BBC Question Time is totally outrageous, especially as Michael Stock at the BBC specifically told me that he was "going to look in to this". :o >:( Quote:

Title: No, the BBC hasn't finally got it. Post by Heinz on Feb 21st, 2009 at 8:41am
Newswatch, on the BBC News channel and BBC1 this morning, ended with the usual graphic of their new 0370 number - above a caption stating, "3p per minute from a landline".
Even for those using BT but without a calls package covering the time of their call, 3p per minute hasn't been the cost for some time now (IIRC, it's currently 4p and is going up to 4¼p in April). Head, wall, banging. Commence. |

As my OP was related to Money Box Live on Radio 4, I thought, (hoped), they had finally got the message,but with the other posts on here, obviously not, or is it just a slow process?

Perhaps someone would like to submit a FOI request asking for a list of the various ways in which the corporation describes the cost of calling 03 numbers.
