So now we know how BT are funding the so called "free" 084 and 087 prefixed phone calls within so called "inclusive calls" packages. Angry

I don't see how Ofcom can allow this nonsense to continue when it is so blatantly unfair to the poorest citizen consumers and also to those who do not make very many phone calls on their home landlines. Surely at some time the useless Competition Commission must investigate how the dominant UK fixed line telecoms supplier is charging a call setup fee that does not in any way reflect its real underlying costs in connecting such calls. Also in particular the most despicable aspect of incurring a 12p charge for hitting an answerphone or voicemail system on which you do not wish to leave a message and thus you pay a charge for which you receive no service.
