I believe this violates CCITT Recommendations, but I Its worse than that (as they say). I believe BT charge for ringing time to a cellular phone. I've also noticed recently a few very short duration calls on my Vodaphone bill to a Cellnet number. This would seem to suggest that I'm being charged for ringing time to Cellnet. I know for a fact that at least some of these calls were not answered. BTW: Vodaphone have a second exhange code which is 0831. I don't know if cellnet have a second code yet (I expect they do but haven't had to start using it).
