Some calls are included within your monthly call packages, and it can be unclear exactly which calls have been charged for and which are inclusive, unless you enquire. Although we wrote a blog on prefix numbers last year see here , Ofcom has now introduced the 03 number, to provide organisations with a less expensive number for their customers to dial.
Typical charges are 9p per minute, with mobile charges varying from 3p to 40p per minute. These calls can often be incorporated within your monthly call package. That works out at a whopping 55 pence per minute of an access charge! What can I say to Three Mobile other than thanks, what a total rip off Three! The number I dialled was XXXX and the range holder of this range is Virgin whom actually chose a reasonable 7 pence per minute service charge which applies when you call this 93 number range.
So that is an extra charge of I have never received any information to tell me Three were increasing the Access Charge from 45p to 55p. I decided to check the Ofcom website which states that Three Mobile charge access is 45 pence per minute. So how have I been charged an extra 10 pence per minute? In , the Consumer Rights Directive made the number , as well as the range and other numbers that are charged above the standard UK rate illegal to use for costumer service and complaint features.
In at the occurrence of PhONEday , new numbers were introduced. In , the range came into existence. The charges made by companies that were not BT were intended to boost the financial aspect of a business. It enabled organisations to receive a percentage of the cost paid by the costumer as they were able to put a higher cost on these calls unlike BT who kept it at 5p per minute.
After legislation was introduced in , a charging system which was simper and clearer was introduced for numbers that cost to call. Calls made to the range now have a service charge which is set at a maximum of 7p per minute or alternatively 7p per call. Consequently, the total cost of a call made to an number can range from 7p per minute to 52 p per minute.
The organisation that is being called as an obligation to detail clearly the service charge which is being put on top of the original cost that it takes to call the number. The company have to provide this detail whenever they display their range number.
Not only is this a better alternative to making customers find loads of different local rate numbers for different offices or departments — but it also works out cheaper for them which could impact on their choice of company if comparing many similar ones.
