The 'regulated' interconnect rate that Vodafone receive for interconnect calls is as follows: (day/evening/weekend). This is the rate that one will pay if interconnected directly with Vodafone. -8.22,-3.34,-2.74 If you are (like us) interconnected via BT, you will pay a higher rate. You'll then pay slightly higher again if you pass it through a carrier like us connected to BT. All of these are official routes. One thing that is for certain, if you are purchasing below the Vodafone 'direct' rate of 8.22p than it is an unoffical route. 'Unoffical' routes are always subject to quality related issues. These can be lack of caller ID, routes failing for no apparant reason and/or voice quality amongst others, *even if* the route seems fine when you test it. If your customer relies on this for their business, ensure they know what they are buying!
