The cost of the BT call set up fee and the cost of BT daytime geographical calls are certainly shooting up.
In April 2009 the cost daytime phone calls went up from 3.91p a minute to 4.5p per minute, while the obligatory call set-up charge which only applies to chargeable calls rose from 6.85p to 8p.,and then from October 2010 , the daytime call went up again to 5.25p while the set-up call rose to 9.05p.Now users are faced with new charges.
On BT a short peak call eg one that hits 1571 cost,s approx 15p !!!
BT have now stopped promoted their evening and weekend call packages, clearly in an attempt to get people to switch to 24/7 inclusive calls packages .
