25% is a low rate for that, carriers usually charge 40-60% of the total amount, which seems totally insane to me considering that a carrier has much lower fraud risks than some web service because they usually have established billing relationships with they customers.

- Fuxy 13y agoOh, that's really expensive. I guess it's ok for small amounts though but for large amounts 25% is way overkill. Credit/Debit cards incur a fixed charge of say (max) £1.50 so that would mean that if you're paying more than £6 you're better off with the card.
