There is no catch, as ive checked the bill

What do you get charged during the day, 5p a min?
So far this month my bill is looking like this
BT line rental approx £9.99
18866 calls 82 which costs £1.30
Total £11.29
Another thing to mention is we do not call mobiles with the house phone, we both have contract mobiles where we get free Xnetwork mins so we use these up for mobile calls
A quick calculation I make it if people go on the contract you have and make more than 250 calls a month and none during the day they will save money,
ie line rental £10.00 250 calls at 2p = £5 total £15 using 18866, so 251 calls will cost £15.02 and go up 2p by every call, so saving on the BT contract. But you have to take into account any calls made during the day which will be on top of your £15 monthly bill
If you only make lets, say 150 calls a month this would work out at:-
£9.99 line rental
150 calls at 2p = £3
Total cost £12.99
and a low user of only 50 calls a month will have a total bill of £10.99
One thing I have just noticed on my bill is that some calls are for 2 seconds, this is when we ring someone and it goes into the answer machine and we put the phone down, we get charged the 2p connection fee, do people realise that on BT if you get connected to the answer machine like this you get charged 4.2p + VAT = 5p even if you dont leave a message!
