End of rip-off hospital phone charges under Ofcom crackdown "Rip off" phone bills for worried friends and family calling relatives recovering in hospital are set to become a thing of the past under an Ofcom crackdown.
The telecoms regulator will for the first time start to regulate the cost of 070 numbers, which currently hit consumers making 2.6 million calls a year with charges of around 50p a minute.
Draft Ofcom plans show it is planning to cap the amount providers of 070 numbers can charge your phone company - for example BT, Vodafone or EE - when you call them, to bring them in line with standard mobile tariffs. The Daily Telegraph
