Newbie here!

I hope I'm posting in the correct section.

I follow horse racing (not everyday and I don't bet much at all).

I use Victor Chandler (08444434343) for commentaries and results. The service is very good and one can even listen to the commentary of a race from earlier that day.

The calls cost though.

When I (and others I know) call the service (after not using the service for a month or so) from a landline you hear the message "Hello, its been a while since you last called, welcome to Victor Chandler."

I have also noticed that the calls to the service seem to have deliberate "stalling tactics" to make the call last longer when calling from my mobile (unless I withold my number, then the patterns of the call change and are quicker).

I am told they won't give out a normal rate landline for the service.

I think the service is very good and cheaper than others but I don't like the revenue generating control freakery involved.
