My researches even led me to believe that 0845 calls of up to one hour were now free at weekends for those on the weekend plan, rather than customers being charged hugely more. Furthermore, I had understood that from the 61st minute onwards weekend 0845 calls were charged at the lower rates of 1.96ppm (weekend daytime) or 0.49ppm (weekend evening), as against 3.92ppm (all weekend) for 01/02/03.

I had understood that in general 0845 calls of up to one hour were now free at the same times as 01/02/03, i.e. weekends, evenings and weekends or anytime according to the call plan, and were cheaper when charged: 1.96 vs. 3.92 weekday daytime, 0.49 vs. 1.47 weekday evenings.

Those figures appear to correct be for 0845 numbers for up to 150 calls or 1000 minutes per month, after which calls are are charged at the cheaper rates you quote without the free first hour, as are all calls to ISPs and "indirect access services".

It's interesting to note that for those on the basic "Unlimited weekend" plan, 01/02/03 weekday evening calls are charged at 1.47p/min throughout, but for those on the other plans, which give the first hour free, the 61st minute onwards are instead charged at 3.92p/min.  So, BT really wish to penalise those who stray over the hour..

... It still charges hugely more to call 0845 numbers than 01/02/03 numbers at the weekend for the millions of its customers who are on the Weekend Calls Plan.  01/02/03 calls up to an hour long are free at the weekend but 0845 calls are not on the BT Weekend Calls Plan and are charged by the minute.

Rubbish!

See Table 2(a) of BT Price List Section 55: Personal (Residential) Customer Options - Part 1:Calling Plans - Unlimited Weekend Plan (Formerly known as BT Together Option 1)

On all BT Calling Plans (formally BT Together Options 1, 2 and 3) at all times it is no more expensive to call 0845 numbers than 01/02/03 numbers. At certain times 0845 calls are cheaper.
