  • Annual price increases and how they're calculated
  • Whether you can reduce user numbers mid-term

Service

  • What 'unlimited UK calls' excludes
  • Charges for 084/087, international and premium numbers
  • Support hours and how to reach a human
  • Who handles the porting, and any fees

Exit
