Your number's up

Article Abstract:

There initially seem to be a number of advantages to having a 'personal' phone number, which allows callers to be automatically connect to the particular phone the person they wish to call is using at the time. However, further investigation reveals certain problems with this system. Personal numbers can be much more expensive to call than an ordinary phone number, but the caller will not necessarily be aware of this. There have also been difficulties in getting through to some personal numbers, with some exchanges being unable to recognise personal numbers.

Cheap talk

Article Abstract:

It has now become very difficult for ordinary telephone users in the UK to assess whether they are getting a good deal from their telephone company. Price is an important consideration, but quality of service must also be taken into account. Different telephone companies will be suitable for different people, and it is important to consider factors such as the number of calls made. Most people will make savings by transferring from BT to a local alternative operator, but BT is still a good option for people who spend very little on calls.
