Now, let me see....
A five minute daytime call to an ordinary geographic number. A bargain 1.3p per minute, so that's 6.5p.
Oh, hang on, what's this in the T&C?
"3.3 Fees are quoted VoiceHost limited (whether in the Price List or otherwise) exclusive of Value Added Tax."
OK then - make that 7.64p.
Or I could use the ordinary phone, with any of the "1899, 18185, 18866" group and pay just 5p even if the call goes on for longer than expected, because they work on a per call basis, not a per minute basis.
Let's try another - what if I need to phone those jokers at the electric company yet again to point out that they still have the wrong meter number, on their 0845 number.
Peak rate - 6p per minute.
(Or, as the author of their site evidently never saw the inside of a school, "peek" rate according to the little box where you stick the number in to find out)
Plus the VAT, of course, so that's 7.05p.
Hmm, I haven't checked recently, but I seem to recall that BT peak rate for an 0845 number is only 3p a minute, isn't it? It's certainly nothing like as much as these people want.
Yeah, right, I'll sign up right away.
Edit:
"the little box where you stick the number in to find out" is, of course, my description.
The relevant bit on the site actually says "enter the full telephone number into our call cost calculator above"
Which you may find difficult, because it isn't above, it's below.
