I've had this argument with lots of people... AFAIK, ringing
1891 makes peak units 7.5 mins, and off-peak units 15 mins. Or at least
that's the way it used to work until they brought in their wacky by the
second call charges...

So off-peak it makes no difference, and on peak it drops the price a lot
(7.5 mins as opposed to 3, or using 2 units in 15 mins as opposed to 5).
