OFCOM have decided to cut the cost of calling mobiles, says the Times.
The communications regulator will impose the price cuts until 2011, with the average home phone bills likely to fall by about £8 a year.
Still, anything that gets the big boys to cough up just a little more is worth celebrating, although mobile phone operator 3 are apparently pondering a challenge to the ruling.
Overall, Ofcom puts the consumer savings at between £400 and £500 million a year for the next four years (don’t get too excited, it’s still only £8 a year on a typical home home bill) although mobile phone customers won’t gain at all as any savings will be offset by price increases elsewhere.

Phone calls in the UK……another bloody rip-off. British Telecom were incredibly greedy and gave so little time to make a local call from a phone box that you had to keep putting in coins like there was no tomorrow.
Phone boxes in the UK are such reflection of the society and attitudes too. Smashed up/covered with hookers photos/grafitti/jammed and out of order/or drilled with an electric drills to whip out the money box!
BT?? Bloody take on from day one!

£8.00 is the price of a good slap up meal down the local greasy spoon. Phone bills cut = obesity epidemic! Drugs companies are behind this as usual.
