Using 18866 from a mobile (Read 8,686 times)

mypinknee Newbie Offline AKA Mr Grumpy Posts: 12 Glos Gender:	Using 18866 from a mobile Apr 11^th, 2005 at 4:51pm I am a 18866 user and I have been trying to fathom out their charges if and when I use their 020 7001 9797 from my mobile to access other numbers. Surely I will be paying my own mobile rates or is this 020.. number free for me to call? Does it work with all providers? Can anyone here explain to a dim phone user like me?

Best to try in a modest way and see what happens. But there are often cheaper ways to call then using the free (that is, prepaid at high rates) minutes.

So it is as I feared, completely pointless using the 18866 connection number. I had a suspiscion that would be the case, but I am always the eternal optomist.

Given the few calls I do make it is still cheaper for me to pay as I go. My annual usage amounts to about £15 - told you I was mean. Thanks for the explanations though.

If you're using PAYG, and paying these high costs, then I think an 0870 number would cost about the same.

Therefore using just dial on 0870 794 5989 and waiting for the prompt then calling the international number might be just as cost effective.

If you use that system, then you won't get any additional call charges from 18866, and you would still be paying for an outgoing call which you would have made using 18866
