Yet another scam from BT. “Unlimited Anytime” calls — sounds like that should be “unlimited” and “any time” … right?
I checked my bill today to find I’d been charged £3.46 for calls to UK landlines. Surely some mistake? No: if you read the fine print, a call is only free for the first 60 minutes, and thereafter it’s a staggering 6.9 pence per minute. Of course my phone meetings often go on for over an hour, so now I have to drop the call and rejoin.
If I was in charge, my first act would be to dismember BT and return the land lines to the people who paid for them.
This is the exact same thing that Virgin Media does. You can subscribe to the unlimited landline calls, but they will start charging after 60 minutes 6.9p/min. I know it is a inconvenience to hang up and redial, but so far I could live with it. The first thing I always read is the small print, all the inconvenient details are there.
