Calling rip-off Britain
YOUR recent correspondence on the 118 phone numbers brought to mind another phone rip off that needs highlighting.
I assumed 0844 numbers were just an extension of 0845s. Wrong! I checked with BT and apparently the owners of these numbers can charge what they like, usually 10p per minute.
Not surprising that large organisations are changing to 0844. I shall think twice before using 0844. Welcome to rip-off Britain.
