So what is a connection charge?everytime you make a call from your landline and are connected to the number you are ringing (even to a voicemail) your supplier will charge you a connection fee.
The average call connection charge when calling a local or national numbe (beginning 01, 02 or 03) is 0.22p. The average call connection charge when calling a mobile number is 8p. This may not sound a great deal, but when calculated over a year accounts for a huge amount of your bill.
