That statement could be seen as being defamatory. Alpha Telecom would probably not agree that those are their only good rates. The statement
Quote:about their only good rates
is subjective in any case, and is solely the opinion of the OP. It is almost certainly not likely to be the opinion of Alpha Telecom. This statement may not correlate with other observers' opinions about what are good rates?
Are these rates of Alpha's competitive rates, relative to the rest of the market? Are there other providers offering lower rates for the same calls at the same time of the day? You need to be more careful about what you post I would suggest.
Oh dear
I'm sure you were perfectly able to look up the call rates for yourself, and answer your own questions, however:
There are some providers offering 1.4 US cent a minute calls to UK 0844 and 0871 numbers, but I assume this is a database error, probably with an incompletely defined dialplan that would not actually connect the call, so therefore I won't name them.
That apart, there are no providers that I'm aware of in the UK or elsewhere that connect a 5p/min tariffed 0844 call for less than 5p/min. Therefore Alpha's 5p rate is competitive for such calls.
I apologise to other people that my post before that one becomes rather obscure, but as I only discovered these Alpha tariffs in the last couple of weeks, I thought it was worth adding the info, as it will be easier to use their service.
From abroad, one might use their access numbers in the particular country, but I'd advise against that for cost reasons. Instead, use another service to reach Alpha's London access
