"It would cost nothing to visit their website.
I didn't have a smartphone at the time! I expected a couple of quid, but not seven - I shall complain to someone.....  "
Did they connect you ? I think that's the expensive bit. |

Yes it is - it was something to do with my Mum, I needed to get hold of the hospital in a hurry while driving. Some networks are even more - one would've charged £12.00!! How the hell can they get away with that!! |

I hope you pulled over? Otherwise it could have been more costly, not only financially but in the cost to others too!!!

A few months back, a front page newspaper article told of how 118 were told to pay back something like £240m because of excessive charges to mainly vulnerable people like pensionners.
The main reasons, IIRC, were that a) they did NOT inform people that their charge was some £2.40 per minute (landline) and b)they deliberately kept people hanging on for upto two minutes purely to increase revenue. Grabbing bastards.
Shame there was no jail time for such ptactices. |
