Virgin Media Increase Cost Of 0845 Calls.
Mar 3rd, 2008 at 2:56am
 
Looking at the new Virgin Media NGN Price List effective from 12 /2/2008 i notice they have increased the cost of calls to 0845 .

The new charges. 7p connection. 6p a minute Daytime and Evenings. Shocked

It use to be 5p a minute Daytime and 4p evenings ,which was bad enough.

Scandalous.  Shocked

Quote:
Call durations are accurate to plus or minus 1.1 seconds and rounded up to the next minute.


So charges for all non-geographical numbers beginning 07, 08 and 09 and others are rounded up to the next minute with Virgin Media. BT charges 07, 08 and 09 calls to the nearest second.

Virgin Media now charge 7 pence per minute for 0845 numbers and 10 pence per minute for 0870 numbers. Charges are to the next whole minute and calls also attract a 7 pence call connection fee. These rates apply at all times.  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Good grief, that's even worse than Sky's charges!

I wonder whether Sky will jump on the bandwagon and raise their prices again now that they can ignore their CPS customers' use of the 1280 prefix?

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015
