Title: Sky and TalkTalk 'align' tariffs with BT Post by: mobaholic on May 21, 2010, 09:45:12 AM Sources:- http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/phones/2010/05/talk-talk-and-sky-hike-home-phone-call-costs http://groups.google.com/group/uk.telecom/t/0b231988a528045d?hl=en-GB "Sky and Talk Talk will join BT next month in cutting the amount of time you have to make inclusive evening calls on a landline. The pair are moving their weekday 'daytime' bands from 6am-6pm to 7am-7pm on 1 June, with the remainder of the day classed as the 'evening'. Sky call hikes As well shifting the time-band goalposts, Sky is also raising other charges from 1 June. For instance, it will cost 5.90p per minute rather than the current 5.25p per minute to call a landline during weekday 'daytime', where charges apply. The one-off call set-up fee on many calls will rise from 9p to 9.9p, while it will cost 12.5p per minute in the daytime (7.5p during evenings) rather than the current 12.23p (7.34p) to call a mobile on the basic 'Freetime' package. Talk Talk call hikes From 1 June, the cost of a chargeable evening call to a UK landline is rising from 1.4p to 1.5p per minute and the cost of a chargeable daytime calls to these numbers is rising from 4.6p to 5.8p per minute. At the same time, calls that currently carry a 9.25p connection charge will cost 9.9p. Virgin Media promise Virgin has confirmed it has no plans to change the 6am-6pm classification of daytime hours currently in operation, and says there are no plans to hike prices.
