This is a nonsense! Don't be taken in by it. You have to phone a national
non-geographical number first and that is charged at 11p per minute.
Check with BT. The number begins 0870. I have just checked with them. Go
to the advertised web-site and you will see that they are all
non-geographical numbers.

The national non-geographic numbers are NOT charged at 11p/min.

Please check with BT's website here:

http://www.bt.com/Pricing/pis_info.j...ers&c_index=08

Alternatively, use this short form of the above address:

http://btpricing.v3.net/

Or you can go to:

www.bt.com and click on search/site map
enter 0870 in the search box
click on the top link that mentions the 0845 and other special numbers

A page is brought up with all of BT's special numbers on it. None of them
are charged at 11p/min.

www.telephoneforless.com offers value for money telephone calls, and this
is confirmed by the information on the BT website.

Please check for yourselves.

I gave up after a while..anyone have any luck? I thought the
national rate was 9p per minute.?

Non geo numbers are profit shared, ex-amount going to BT and
ex-amount going to the holder of the non-geo number.

These numbers are not part of any all-in tariffs, they are extra to
whatever anyone in the UK pays for 'inclusive' rentals. They are
rarely discounted.

Geographic numbers on the other hand can attract discounts via
different carriers, my own carrier - not BT - is substantially
cheaper than BT .

Anyone calling geographical UK numbers from abroad will happily find
these numbers discounted.

BT's national call charge, via an 0845 number, is:

Mon - Fri 8am to 6pm, 3p/min
Mon - Fri before 8am and after 6pm, 1p/min
Sat - Sun all the time 1p/min

See BT's note 2 for 0845 numbers

0870 is:

7.51, 3.75 and 1.5p/min for the same times above.

All the information is available here:

http://www.bt.com/Pricing/pis_info.j...ers&c_index=08

Of course, this is only for BT. If you use another provider, you will have to check their prices.
