Got this earlier from the Plusnet forum.
http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Police-debunk-999-phone-charge-myth/story-19718338-detail/story.html
Stupid people are ringing 999 on their phones because they think it charges their phones.
999 calls are free anyway, even if you're on PAYG and have no credit left.
Why are some people so stupid?!

Edit, just seen your edit so original question now void......
Not sure where your comment about free calls fits in though?

What do you mean by "charges their phones" ?Read the link I just added to the OP.
The link has nothing to do with the cost of a call to 999, so why did you mention that in your OP?
I was making a point.
Obviously the point went over your head...
The point you're making has nothing to do with the link, so no, it didn't go 'over my head'.
