If I don't part with the cash, I lose the ability to make free(INCLUSIVE) local calls. No more, no less. To me, it's a very straightforward concept. You have, on your own admission, accepted what I have said; "If I don't part with cash", by "parting with cash" you make any product associated with that cash INCLUSIVE, and if you don't "part with cash" you don't receive ANY calls, so they are not "free". Your argument is nonsensical and flawed and your definition too narrow. There is little benefit in continuing this aspect of the discussion. All I would suggest is that you may wish to carry out a little research into local calling provision here and the legal obligations and heavy regulation that define such provision across fifty separate entities. It is a very different beast to what you may be familiar with. Only because you do not want to believe what is in front of your eyes, if you pay pay out for something, anything that comes with it cannot be free as it will be INCLUDED, I have given a definition and an example but you continue to live in your own little air bubble. A definition is a definition whether narrow or not, (not that I agree my definition is). Dictionary definition of Free;- " to exempt, to absolve from some charge". You are being charged! Dictionary definition of Inclusive;- "comprehended in the number or sum", (meaning you calls are INCLUSIVE via the monthly charge!). Or maybe the word INCLUSIVELY may sit better with you, (although it is basically the same); "so as to include something mentioned"! i.e. your "free" calls. BT state as an example that if you pay £4.99 per month you can have unlimited 24/7 calls to certain numbers,( I am pretty sure they used to state "free", but looks like they changed the wording),they are not free they are being paid for at the charge of £4.99 a month, therefore inclusive, or as BT state "unlimited", which is still not true as you are limited to call durations of 60 minutes on calls to 01/02/03 numbers and a fair use policy on calls to 0845/0870 numbers, go over those limits and you will be charged.
