Does anyone know? 5p/min at all times (*). If you have caller display, you could call back and off-peak that would be an inclusive call, so would be within the cost of the monthly package amount. (*) someone pointed out that there are a few BT allocations of 05xx numbers and checking the BT Price List, they're all charged on the same charge band (as per BT's method). I checked and they were 5p at all times when I looked within the last couple of weeks (most likely the day this was first posted). I didn't keep track of the URLs but www.serviceview.bt.com is a starting point :-) (BT UK Price List, Main Contents, Section 2 ... part 10 about 05xxx numbering and charge bands, showing 05xxx at "g6", then back to section 2, part 1 for call costs from landlines.) |

![]() rat wrote: what is the quality like.. as yet have you noticed any effect on your b/band connection.. does it drag it down quite a bit Not really, I haven't done any heavy downloading or anything and have only made a couple of calls. Obviously it only uses up all the bandwidth while you're making a call so I make sure I'm not downloading anything at the same time. Other than that I am impressed at the quality. Maybe it's because I was expecting it to be awful or something but it's pretty good. I was also expecting it to be echoey or delayed but didn't seem to have any problems like that. I guess I'll have to wait until my net connection goes a bit dodgy and see what it's like then. |

![]() What happens if you plug a modem in? Aby connection at all? No, it keeps trying to negotiate the connection but fails every time. Althought I can't really be bothered to try forcing my modem to superslow connection speeds. |

![]() This looked interesting to me but I couldn't find any information on how much it costs to make a call *to* the new numbers. Does anyone know? 5p/min to the "05" number range that BT is using. Also, the 05 numbers are charged as normal calls if you're using a broadbandvoice connection though. ie 3p/min peak, free offpeak. |

![]() Mine arrived today. There was no accompanying letter. Or email? Do you get seperate note giving info on phone number/contract? I am unsure if I actually wanted it at this time, I was expecting the next page to give me a summary of costs, rather than telling me I'd ordered it. When you order it on the broadbandvoice website you should get a confirmation email right away confirming your login and password along with the date that your service will be activated. If you haven't received either the first or second email I'd suggest giving them a call on the support number. |
