I've just taken delivery of some Calci worms, meal worms and Waxworms and I can't seem to find any information on thier care. I'm told I should fridge them because they'll last ages but then they'd not eat anything. Then again, I did hear that the Calci worms don't eat anything! Can someone enlighten me please?

usually you can just keep them in the containers they come in and put em in the fridge ^.^ i heard calci worms and wax worms dont like fridge temps, but people have successfully kept them in their fridges. usually i put them outside, a little warmer than the fridge, but still cold enough to keep them from growing. and then, just thaw a couple out and feed them ^.^ with calci worms, to help your cham diguest them, its best to put a nic in their side with nail clippers or something.

I believe they are the same thing as phoenix/repti/black soldier fly worms.

That's correct.
Thanks guys 
Unfortunately my calci worms were infested with fruitfys. I suppose they do fruitflys in the same shop. I started seeing loads of them around my house and thought it was a bit odd this time of year!? lol They had killed all the worms. I do still have my mealworms and waxworms though. I had thought of putting them in my workshop outdoors because as you say, it'd be cool but not fridge cold. I think I'd be slightly concerned that my fridge could kill them. I might give both a try. My chameleons are scoffing the crickets like there's no tommorrow lol I love the way they're instantly interested in food lol Bless `em I'm utterly smitten with them already!
