This £2 for PAYG ‘telephony’ has come up a few times and seems pretty sharp practise if true….PAYG should not have a cost unless you use it ( it’s implied in the name ) , I suspect the rationale is , no telephony at all ( no incoming or outgoing calls possible ) this is £5 cheaper than the equivalent bundle of broadband and telephony, (the telephony being the PAYG package ) so arguably adding telephony is £5, so is £2 the cost of having the ability to receive income calls, or is the £5 cost of having telephony, reduced to £2 as way of making it more attractive…some may consider a £5 saving worthwhile , but ‘only’ £2 for the ability to make and receive calls may be an easier sell.
Be interesting to know, in my case I have PAYG calls , and generally don’t make calls , but I do get the occasional ‘genuine’ incoming call ( and appreciate having that facility) , I don’t pay £2 for this ..if it were added to my bill , I would not be happy , I don’t see how it can be pay as you go , if you pay even if you don’t ‘go’
