Tiny print on a letter and e-mail just received from BT says that the
1571 standard service is going to cost £1 per month if you don't make
at least 2 charged calls per month. Those who use their landline only
for broadband or only for receiving calls could get an unexpected
addition to their bill. At the moment http://www.bt.com/youraccount
till says it's free and provides no way to disable it, but watch that
space for a chance to do so.

1571 has always incurred a cost - 5p to discover the person you want to talk to is engaged!!!


Thats not a charge for 1571 ...I presume you mean if you press 3 which
is just laziness.
