Dear Board members,
Can some member please tell the cost of dialling an 0870 and an 0845 number on telewest evening and weekends package.
1. What would be the cost of dialling an 0870 and 0845 number in evenings and weekends on an evening and weekends package ?
2. What would be the cost of dialling an 0870 and 0845 number in daytime on an evening and weekends package ?
Many Thanks

0870 calls (which will appear as national non-geo on your bill), are billed at 7.91ppm Daytimes, 3.95ppm evenings and 2.00ppm weekends.
The talk packages are only inclusive of calls to UK fixed landlines (numbers beginning 01 and 02), so you wouldn't benefit from any discount on 0845 and 0870 numbers by taking Talk E&W.
Remember that all calls are also subject to a 6p call connection charge (excluding calls inclusive in Talk U and Talk E&W.)
Hope this helps,

I was under the assumption that 0845 and 0870 calls fall under national call category and hence will be free on the evening and weekends package

As I said before, the reason these calls aren't inclusive is that that they are non-geographic, and the talk packages only include geographic fixed line calls.

Very useful tool
May be it might be better if telewest can modify the call calculator so that the person using it enters the number he wishes to call, enter the package he is on, enter the time he wants to make the call (daytime, evening, weekend) and the call calculator shows the cost.

for the person about calling 0870 / 0845 / 0844. if you are going to call those number range alot ie using it for international call through service. than get an 02 lesiure tariff which currently for £20 a month you get 2000 minutes of offpeak minutes (which can be use to landlines, 02 mobiles, 0870, 0845, and 0844.) Plus 100 minutes of cross network calls and 200 sms for the first three months. After the three months it drop to 1000, 50, 100.
Of course, the mystery off-peak caller tarif isn't mentioned (anywhere!)
Off peak caller is a package which can only be offered by the customer relations team if a customer expresses a wish to disconnect a service, and the relations team feel that off peak caller would keep their custom; as such, this is not a publically advertised tarrif.
If however, you are a customer that is currently subscribed to off peak caller and you require further tariff information, call customer relations and they will be happy to advise.
0871 numbers are 'multimedia services' and will generally cost anywhere between 1ppm - 10ppm.
Enhanced phones such as the Amstrad em@iler use 0871 numbers to send text messages and emails, and will also usually incurr a connection fee of 12p.

Beat me to it
Actually I'm setting my grandmother up with Telestunt so she can call family in Ireland and the US on the cheap.
