Patientline V

We have posted about the NHS patients' telecomms provider Patientline before most notably in April when they hiked up the prices of making outgoing calls from 10 p per minute to 26 p per minute.

In the face of competition from mobile phones (after a relaxation on their use in hospitals), Patientline has reversed its decision and lowered the price of outgoing calls back to 10 p per minute. Incoming calls will remain at 49 p per minute!

Just for comparison a local call in the UK with the operator British Telecom on a fixed line is 3 p per minute. (BT call calculator here).
