Stop mobile phone networks charging to connect to the police 101 service
Stop charging mobile phone users 13p to connect to the police non-emergency 101
Why is this important?
A short while ago I had a nusance neighbour and was asked to provide information to the police by a housing association every time the neighbour caused a disturbance on the 101 service
It wasn't until I got my bill that I found out that was charged every time I had called.
Ordinarily a one off charge once in a blue moon but on one occasion I had phoned in 7 -8 times a day
This soon adds up.
Luckily for me it was only for a few weeks.
The person was later charged and moved to a different location. And my family was thanked for their help.
The crux is that if I called 999 every time I wouldn't have been charged.
As yet I do not know if the other networks charge for connecting to the 101 service or even the 111 service
