https://www.gov.uk/call-charges
"The cost of calling a phone number depends on the digits it starts with, your phone provider and whether you use a landline or mobile.
You may get free calls to some numbers as part of your call package. Check with your phone provider.
03
0345
Cost from landlines per minute (approximate) up to 9p
Cost from mobiles per minute (approximate) 3p to 55p"
On my contract with ID Mobile they charge 40p per minute once you've used all of your free minutes. Alternatively, you can buy 200 extra minutes for £3, 500 for £6 or 1000 for £8. |

Regardless of hysteria and spun-out statistics, is it still not a bit fucked that this helpline costs money while the one to report benefit fraud is free?
Blatantly a tactical, punishing move by the government. The logic being that making the call to get help should only be done if you're desperate so you're willing to take the hit. But it's absurd, being made to fork out more when you're already desperate.
Chancers who want to play the system for extra money will gladly gamble the 'up to 55p a minute' anyway, so all this does is tell those who really need it that the state doesn't care about them unless they pay a premium for help when it's needed. Madness. But hey it's just poor people and they're all feckless idiots. Okay, how about we make the 999 number premium rate too? Anyone who ends up needing emergency services is an idiot who can't look after themselves either so fuck them they should pay as well |

I don't find "or else" particularly engages my compassion or inclines me to voluntarily surrender the fruits of my labour (look this word up).
However, it is a compelling pragmatic argument in favour of culling the feckless if, as you say, it's them or me.
If it came down to that, which side of the barricades would you be on? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

One takes from the state, the other adds to the coffers?
03 numbers are widely used for local call rate. Just because in certain situations, a handful of operators decide to rip people off, doesn't mean the government are on the take.
The receiving company has to pay 0800 connect and call charges. Why should my tax money pay for incoming calls from people, many of whom have no intention of getting work and adding to the tax pool?
BTW, 0800 numbers were chargeable from most mobiles until 2015. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I'd be interested for you to provide just how much money has been added to the coffers?

Government department chooses the phone number type, so yes?

Get off your fucking high horse, there's not just you who pays tax, and I've no doubt whatsoever that you won't be able to back up your 'many have no intention of getting work' bullshit.
Quote: | BTW, 0800 numbers were chargeable from most mobiles until 2015. |
That pesky government department forcing others to give free phone numbers, and not subscribing to it themselves eh?
BTW, someone will have to quote this for softlad to see, seeing as he has a very sandy mangina at the moment. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.
