Title: Phonepayplus and 0871 pricing. Post by irrelevant on Sep 24th, 2009 at 4:39pm
Well... it seems that despite Phonepayplus' complaints form being heavily geared towards issues where you have been mis-charged for calls, they do actually taken notice about numbers being promoted without clear pricing information.
As a test, I submitted two complaints - one regarding Odeon's 0871 which is promoted in their weekly emails with only a * next to it, pricing at the end of the email, which are so long that Gmail truncates them so you don't see the last bit. The other was regarding a number on a brochure and website... It took a month, but I've finally been asked for copies of the email, and this in response to the other: Quote:
So. I'll probably submit a few more now... remember, 0871s need clear pricing information in very close proximity to the numbers! If anybody sees any that do not have pricing with them, feel free to tell Phonepayplus! Maybe they'll start issuing fines after the grace period has expired, and THOSE will start making companies think a bit harder about the numbers they use ... |

Good work irrelevant. Do you think this web page by Freeola is compliant given that they only put the 10p per minute information right at the bottom of the page and you have to scroll down to see it and it is nowhere near the large and prominently listed 0871 number at the top of the page. See http://freeola.com/support/ |

I don't know how pedantic they will be for 0871s, but certainly this would be in breach for the normal 09 numbers, based on previous adjudications. Certainly worth submitting a complaint, especially as they don't even put a * or anything by it to alert people that there is a footnote. Indeed, it took me a few moments to even find the pricing information, and that was after you had told me it was there!! |
