In short, I got to pay if I want information about jobs. There are free phones provided down at the JobCentres but they are no good as they don’t provide minicoms or offer to call on my behalf. I have to go home and pay to find out more details for jobs through JobSeeker Helpline. But this is another matter, which deserve a post on its own.
Anyway, tt has come to my attention that BT are offering free 0845 and 0870 calls if you are on the Anytime plan. So, preparing to abandon Virgin Media, I set out to find out more information whether these free calls will ring true if I use TextDirect prefix of 18001 before calling out. My first port of call – BT Customer Services……..
Gee – thanks a bunch, British Telcom!!! It is short-sighted of them to not to include TextDirect calls on this plan, considering that TextDirect service belongs to them.
Undeterred, I will give that “colleague” a call and will keep you informed on my progress.
