message: In the table of prefix codes, 0845 is given as an example of a 'free' phone number while in the following paragraphs 0845 is described as being more expensive that the new national rate. Something is wrong somewhere - or maybe I misunderstood.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 11:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on the calling plan – some include free calls to 0845 and 0870 but others don't.  I've explained this in the article as it could have been misleading. —Snigbrook 12:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  0800 is "free" to call from all landlines. 0845 and/or 0870 numbers are not "free numbers"; they are non-geographic, but if they happen to be inclusive in your call plan then you won't pay for the call. - 212.139.108.56 (talk) 00:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article contradicts itself with regard to 0845 numbers 

message: A lot of examples of tariffs are shown in this article. Is this really necessary?
* Prices change all the time. It would be an enormous task to keep this information up to date.
* The lists are not comprehensive - and it would be near impossible, given the number of telecoms operating in the UK and the complexities of their price plans to make them so.
* The superficial nature of these price-breakdowns might make one telecom appear cheaper than another, with a detailed comparison of services being beyond the scope of the article. It runs the risk of 'promoting' a particular telecom, possibly leading to issues of bias.
* It is potentially unencyclopaedic to list this information, and beyond the purpose of the article.
Perhaps there is an argument for one or two isolated examples, but the scale of these price quotes seems quite over the top from where I am sitting. -- Fursday 02:36, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The NGNs are sort of defined by their cost tiers but we should talk about them in a more generic way rather than list specific prices for specific telecos. The risk is that our listed prices will quickly become out of date. --DanielRigal (talk) 09:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm the CTO of a UK Telco and came looking at this page because a customer quoted some of the (mis) information on this page at me.
There are many errors. Some because things have changed a lot in the last year or so, a few things things are badly described, a few important facts are omitted and some things are Just Plain Wrong. I notice that many of "facts" given seem unsupported by references. I'm really happy to help clean and tidy this all up - but I don't have huge experience in the ways of Wikipedia. I do know where the key reference documents are to "back up" or "verify" accurate information. Anyone want to suggest where/how I start ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teledesign (talk • contribs) 03:56, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

text: As you haven't returned, I have since added more details about revenue sharing, general pricing structures, and some history. With changes to the regulations covering 0845 and 0870 expected, the immenent implentation of the Consumer Rights Directive and the forthcoming anticipated "unbundled" tariff in 2013, this article will need further work when those details have been announced. -- 212.139.101.42 (talk) 11:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Not being in UK, I'm unsure of article value to readers. Is this detail, hard to keep updated, better than available from mobile suppliers themselves? AnEyeSpy (talk) 01:54, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The costs part will need to be rewritten once new regulation is announced in the next few months. There are big changes coming to the way that these call prices will be advertised. For the present, the article links to current pricing details for networks. -- 212.139.101.42 (talk) 10:21, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
