If all residential subscribers are on option 1, 2 or 3 it appears impossible to make “a standard rate call”, this is just a fiction – an aid to confusion.

Is it possible to make a standard rate call from a residential or business phone?

People on the Light User Scheme still pay the Standard Rate prices, I think. However, it's certainly not possible to choose this tariff. Unfortunately, "Standard Rate" is how it's defined by Ofcom - hopefully this will chance in the future.

Anyway, as most people aren't on this rate, it shouldn't be used for comparisons. Sadly, though, many people are extremely confused by all this, so spokesmen can largely get away with making whatever claims they like!

How long can NEG get away with their excuse "saves people getting an engaged line!"??

Picture a surgery with a receptionist, if she is on a line and I call, then it's engaged and it costs me zero.
If I now dial the 0870, she is still on the other line and I start paying 8p per min to wait for her to finish. How can this be saving me money?

NEG should be nailed for their obfuscations - let's hope we can.

I think you must accept that everybody involved with these scams from the outset was and is intent on deceipt. All these abuses are based on deceipt. Deceipt therefore becomes the norm for them, and lying at every juncture is part of the deceipt.

It becomes almost like a drug. The revenue streams (and sales bonuses) being generated from these abuses are so enormous that they become completely hooked on maintaining the revenue streams whatever they have to do, including lying and cheating wherever necessary!

This is of course why they fight so hard to avoid these abuses being ended by all revenue sharing being put back where it belongs - in the 09 category. They would no longer then be able to continue the deceipt.

Ofcom are completely ineffectual
