i have now asked 18866 several times to send me their invoice before they try and take money from my bank account.  they have not responded at all.

is this usual for these type of companies?

who are currently the other providers of the same type/costs? - i am particularly interested in cheaper calls to uk mobiles (from an ntl line)

any help much appreciated

18185 website shows 5ppm peak/evening 2ppm weekends 4p connection

1899, 18185 and 18866 invoice on the same day every month, 2 months or 3 months depending on your use.

Why not just check your account online a few days before your invoice is due?  By doing so, you'll know approximately how much they're going to call from your bank account even if the 'your invoice is ready' e-mail notification does not arrive in time.

I think this attitude to bills is pretty standard.
Try 1899 for cheaper calls to landlines and mobiles. 3p connection fee only and 10p per min to mobiles from landline.

Thanks for that orson cart, although I use talk talk at weekends which is free for local and national geographic numbers on my tariff (T1)
