FabSwingers.com forum: 101 non-emergency number.

Does everyone know calls to 101 are charged at 15p?

"Calls to 101 (from both landlines and mobile networks) cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day you call, or how long you are on the phone.

The 15p cost of the call goes to the telephony providers to cover the cost of carrying the calls. The police and government receive no money from calls to 101."

Seems a bit of a scam to me.

How long before 999 calls are chargeable?

999 will never ever be chargeable

Why is it a scam? It's a non emergency number I think 15p is reasonable!

I will say never because it'll never happen

Too many vulnerable people in the u.k that wouldn't be able to access it, they're usually the people that need it most
