Introduction Page

 The UK Telecom Tariff Comparisons web site is dedicated to providing totally independent comparisons of telecommunications tariffs in the UK. Forget all the discounts claimed in advertisements and check the real saving over BT, if any!

Magenta Systems started this comparison in August 1995 and it's been updated regularly ever since, currently 11 times a year. 

Information Available to Members

The Tariff Comparison currently comprises the following tables:

  • Business Telephone Tariffs - 10 tables
  • Residential Telephone Tariffs - 16 tables
  • Special Service Telephone Codes - 9 tables
  • International Telephone Codes
  • International Mobile Codes
  • National Telephone Codes
  • Indirect Access Codes
  • Forthcoming Code Changes 
  • Directory Enquiry Codes
  • Operators and Notes  

These tables may be viewed as web pages, or downloaded in zip files as Excel or Lotus 123 spreadsheets, and as text files for importing into databases. Residential members do not get business telephone tariffs. Business members also have access to Acrobat (PDF) versions which can be easily printed. 

The Tariff Comparison does not include any wholesale prices or inbound call costs or payments (0800, premium, etc), or leased line prices.
