I don't know, but then I'm sure you do actually know and will post as
such shortly.  You seem quite good at that.

I got through to Customer Care and they said it's 10ppm. I advise them of
the BT cost...
Calls to 056 numbers are charged at the g21 rate.
Daytime 4.89p per minute
Evening 2p per minute
Weekend 1.18p per minute...

...and they said they'll look into it.

BT classes a call to a 056 number as a UK call. The UK call costs for BT
Together Option 1 at

differ quite considerably from those you give. What is the source of
your information?

Thanks. If I understand it correctly that is a Basic Inland Call Charge.
Being on BT Together Option 1, like many residential subscribers, is
quite an advantage compared with that rate and what Vonage charge.

Yep.  And most of BT's residential customers are on BT Together Option 1
by default.

For customers on BT Together, confirmation that calls to numbers
beginning with 056 (g21) are charged at the same rate as calls to
geographical numbers can be found in section 55 of the BT Price List.

Presumably one reason for keeping the prices of local and national calls
at a higher rate in section 2 of the Price List is to justify the cost
of calls to revenue sharing numbers, such as 0845 and 0870.
