Can't call 101 from mobile (business user)

[Anonymous]

Hi - as it says above I can't call 101 (for local rozzers) from my business phone. It's a BB Bold 9900 and I just get 'calling' and then 'disconnected' with a beep.

Does anyone have any ideas why please?

@damien1 it states that the 15p goes to the network not the police . But I have never been charged for a 101 call by o2 they never even show on my bill.

Why does it cost 15p to call 101?

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.

Sorry Adam but that's no excuse in my book why did they have to change it at all someone is making money out of it or they wouldn't have done it
