RE: Bloody BT!

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Just checked up on my bill and have seen that the "freebie"
evening number
for surfing has actually cost me quite a bit of money (about £15) ... it
seems that during the day when my PC is on and the router tries dialling up
that number then the BT end answers it but immediately hangs up and charges
me 5p a pop for the priviledge!

Bugger!

Phil
