    Because of the different shifts I work sometimes during the early hours of the morning I tune into newstalk and this is what bugs me when they call out there text nbr,They say texts will cost 30cent were as Today FM is a standard charge of around 9cent how could this be if there owned by the same company and work out of the same building? Also the NT phone nbr is a 1890 nbr which costs more to ring on a Moby than Today FM 1850 nbr any ideas.

    Are those live shows or replays ?

    Because if they give out that number and invite texts during recorded shows then they are acting illegally.
