Skype introduce Connection charge (Read 14,434 times)

moneysavin Full Member Offline Posts: 131	Skype introduce Connection charge Jan 19^th, 2007 at 6:12pm Skype have just introduced a connection charge of 3.9 euro cents for Skype Out calls. The opposition are quick to latch on this opportunity to promote their cheaper service. See: http://www.voipstunt.com/en/splash_skype.html

Well this really shows how Ofcom totally deregulating BT call charges and line rental has increased competition in the marketplace and lowered call prices doesn't it. Huh

Now in addition to 0870 we even have a hidden scam charges most callers won't be aware of and that isn't announced to them when making regular phone calls. And Ofcom and all the rest of them simply follow my leader with BT.

Well done Ofcom you really are a big help to the citizen consumer aren't you. Roll Eyes

Is this offer still running Trubster?

With Tesco's Club Card Extra scheme you can then exchange those Clubcard Vouchers for admission to attractions that normally cost four times the price like Legoland, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Chessington World of Adventures. My excuse is a 3 year old nephew and 7 year old niece. So £10 paid for internet phone becomes £160 of admission to Alton Towers etc and you still have the £10 of internet phone left on top? Or was this in fact done as a Tesco Moneycard rather than as true Clubcard vouchers?

Surely you didn't spend £6,000 in a quarter at Tesco did you? Shocked

No, but it feels like I have Cheesy

I wasn't aware of that facility so thanks for mentioning it. So you get more than the delivery refunded effectively by getting £10 of Clubcard vouchers that are worth £40 of Clubcard Extra deals? There are only so many deals like the RAC etc that actually look any use to take up though?

This has now diverted from its original path, so perhaps a Tescos category should be made. But I'm here now, so here's my little bit.

Looks like there is no good incentive available for signing up to Tesco Internet Phone, which is run by NTL. (See below.)
For £49.97 they give you an IPA1000 adaptor + £5 credit against call charges.
Anyone know if this adaptor can be unlocked, and is it any good. http://buy.tescointernetphone.com/

Cleppa Park

Perhaps this is the one Trubster went for?
