im in university accomadation in sheffield

we are charge a one off fee of £25 for a telephone line, and we dont not have to pay line rental, also we get intercom calls free and voice mail

I have a 0114 numbere but we are charged BT's local rates for all freephone and local calls

my question: is thier any way round this?

Run that past me again if you would.

It's 11am on a Monday morning.  Dave2986, from his university accomadation (sic) in Sheffield, wants to call Exeter - a National call, if you insist upon continuing to use that redundant phrase - at the BT rate available from his 0114 line.  How would using a phonecard with an 0845 access number be any cheaper?

In reply to bill:

It depends if you believe what the original poster wrote in his subject line or in the body of his message! I suspect the latter is correct, and local and freephone calls are charged at BT's "local rate" (3p in the daytime). If national calls are charged at BT's "national rate", that's 8p in the daytime. There may be a card with 0845 access that charges less than 5p for national calls.

Of course, if all calls are charged at local rate, it isn't any use. But I doubt that is the case.

Freephone numbers are free on most Orange pay monthly tariffs.
