Long and winding road to call costs

We may have inadvertently given you the impression that BT doesn’t make it as easy as it could to discover the call rate for a call from the UK to the US. Some of you might have suspected this was a deliberate tactic.
But we hear from regular correspondent John Loader, whose search for such information inspired this thread, that BT has now provided him with a simple internet link if he wants to look up the cost of a call – so obviously we shouldn’t be so cynical.
If you want to take advantage of BT’s laudable commitment to transparency, all you need to do is type this simple (?) URL:
http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=15718&s_cid=con_FURL_personal/pricing/international&com.bea.event.type=linkclick&oLName=link.searchresults&oLDesc=personalpricinginternational
...and you too can see exactly how much cheaper international calls are when you use Skype.
