Ofcom may introduce changes in regulation which will affect call charges to 08 numbers. This may result in changes to Call Charges and other changes to terms and conditions.
The International 64Kbit/s data call service allows calls made from ISDN and Highway lines to be carried on clear 64Kbit/s paths to certain overseas destinations (or 56Kbit/s paths for those countries with ISDN services using lower speeds, namely USA, Canada, Bermuda and Hong Kong). The service is suitable for data applications where high transmission quality and low error rates are important. Service is dependent upon the overseas carrier and will not necessarily be available to all parts of an overseas country. Calls to a mobile network will be provided on a 64Kbit/s or 56Kbit/s path to the point of connection with that network, however the data transmission rate achieved will depend upon that network, the nature of the terminal in use and a number of other factors.
Eligibility
Available from the following types of lines :
-ISDN2 and ISDN2e lines (ISDN2 DASS2 has been withdrawn from new supply with effect from 10 April 2006)

-ISDN30 (I421 and DASS2 variants) and ISDN30e lines (ISDN30 I421 has been withdrawn from new supply with effect from 10 April 2006)

Pricing Information
Individual calls are charged at prices which are dependent on the country being called. Countries are allocated to one of 5 charge bands. See General Notes Section Dialled Call Chargesfor details of Call Duration and Call Charge rounding. There is a MinimumSetCallUpChargeFee per call (see General Notes sub part 4), less any discounts. ISDN calls are priced on a `per channel' basis.
Calls are charged from the time that the call is synchronised until the time that the caller closes down the call. This could involve charges even though the call is not fully connected with the distant party.
