Page me (but you'll pay for it)
Article Abstract:
The cost of radio paging in the United Kingdom can be very high, especially if public call boxes are used, and the information given on charges may not be accurate. The UK market is dominated by British Telecommunications and Vodaphone and the caller tends to pay for calls. The Office of Telecommunications argues that no complaints have been made, but this may be because users are not aware of how high prices are. Users should complain in order to remedy this situation.
