In principle, the low cost providers cannot overcharge you. The rates to all access numbers are set by Ofcom, the UK telecommunications regulator. There may be several reasons you were charged more when calling Russia (Ekaterinburg) using the access number:

• You only took into account the service charge of the call (the rate shown in the table). The total price of the call consists of both access charge and service charge (see questions above).
• You called Russia (Ekaterinburg) from a mobile phone but expected to be charged as if calling from the landline. Many mobile network providers have a higher access charge.
• You called Russia (Ekaterinburg) from payphone but expected to be charged as if calling from the landline. Calling from payphone attracts a higher access charge.
• The access number for Russia (Ekaterinburg) advertised by the low cost call provider had inaccurate price. Call Rates Scanner is a comparison site for cheap calls to Russia (Ekaterinburg) and over 300 other destinations, offered by 74 chep call providers. Although we're updating information from all the providers several times a day, we have no control over the accuracy of the information advertised by those providers.

In summary, the rates you are actually charged on your bill depend on the prices set by your phone line provider.

We advise you to get in touch with your phone line provider to protest your bill. In case of inaccurately advertised access numbers, we advice you get in touch with the low cost provider whose access number you dialed, if you wish to complain.
