Yes Omy it is unbelievable quite how out of touch they really have become. However, I would reply stating that if and when their price is reduced to less than the competition I would consider rejoining them - not just when they "match" the competition!

After all with their SMP they have the economies of scale. If 18866 can provide UK calls at 1 p for any duration then in BT's position with SMP they should be able to offer a lower price. The reason they do not is that they have a bunch of amateur managers who do not know how to reduce their costs and run their company competitively! Most of them are too used to operating with a monopoly and dictating the prices and terms to their captive subscribers. Ofcom assist them at every juncture to continue their virtual monopoly, so they never learn how to compete.

Hi, I agree, I don't  think BT is losing any sleep over 18866 or 1899. I have told dozens of people about these deals and only the odd one has bothered to look into the deals and joined. It's apathy that keeps BT where it is today.

I meant apart from 0845/0870 my mistake. So like me you have CPS to Onetel,and use 1899,1866.Do you send your NGN traffic through BT.Use the free weekend calls and free Directory enquiries on Onetel.Then place the rest of your traffic through 1899,and 18866 depending on which is the cheapest? Out of interest who do you put your mobile calls through?
