Talk More Evenings and Weekends calls charged incorrectly

Hello,

My contract includes "Talk More Evenings and Weekends" which I believe should allow free calls after 6pm. This has worked for since we have had the home phone service but in January we were randomly charged for two calls to a UK landline number that we regularly call without charge.

The calls were made after 6pm and each lasted around 30 minutes. I raised a complaint with the customer services team clearly explaining the issue and received a very poorly written response saying that the calls had been investigated and were chargeable.

The calls were placed by my wife to her mother. They talk most evenings and she assures me that the calls were less than an hour so I cannot understand why these two particular calls were charged for when literally hundreds of others to the same number were not.

It seems a very simple matter but the customer service response did not include any explanation and I really do not want to waste ages queuing to speak to them to sort this out. There is not option to respond to the "findings" by email which seems appalling. 

What is the best way to resolve this without wasting hours of my time?

Re: Talk More Evenings and Weekends calls charged incorrectly

Talk Evenings & Weekends allows for inclusive calls to standard landlines & mobiles from 7pm to 7am weekdays & all day Saturday & Sunday. If you were making calls between 7 am & 7pm they are Daytime calls & will be chargeable.

See page 25 of the linked document:

Re: Talk More Evenings and Weekends calls charged incorrectly

Thank you Nodrogd, that explains why I was charged for the calls. I was pretty certain that the free period started from 6pm but the info you linked to proved otherwise. It is disappointing that the person who responded to my complaint did not explain this. Thanks again for your help - it is appreciated.
