You are absolutely correct...sorry about that. Still cheaper than
Telewest with their 6p connection charge. Now that they have moved
away from their 'simple' pricing system (TW speak: simple=more
expensive) they have gone even more simpler for daytime calls, so,
even if 1899 do charge per minute it's nothing like the charges that
TW make.
