Title: Free 0161 Access Number for some Intl Calls.
Post by bigjohn on Sep 14th, 2012 at 7:49pm
See www.callsdiscount.com

They have an access number  0161 311 3111  which allows you to access some Intl Destinations eg: Argentina ,Canada, France landlines etc etc out of your inclusive minutes.

When i say free i mean no charge is raised if called from your inclusive minutes.

This is a dial-through number and therefore the Service Charge associated with it pays for the service. Therefore I wouldn't advocate publication of an alternative number in this case, should it exist and come to our attention.

Consider your options as to whether there are ways of making calls to Spain for lower cost. What's best for you probably depends on what type of phone and what provider you are using.

This 0843 number can be bettered in price. The cheapest call rate to this number is from some landlines including BT, TalkTalk and some others. A call to it from a BT landline will cost 4.084 pence per minute plus 13.1p Call Setup fee. This charge begins before you dial the destination number, and so even if there is no answer, you get charged. But I have found a lower cost option.

I'm not sure whether this can be bettered, but 18185 charges 4 pence plus 1 pence per minute to ring Spannish landline numbers. Calls are charged in whole minute increments. This is still cheaper than calling via the 0843 number.

There are freephone and geographic access numbers for this service, so if you're calling from a landline and you don't get inclusive calls then the call can be free. If you're calling from a mobile with inclusive minutes, then you can use the geographic number to ensure that those minutes are used (providing you haven't exhausted them for the billing period).

This is one such option that I'm aware of and there may be lower cost options out there.

Does not surprise me that it gives a 0843 access number,as in my original post i said the 0161 number offers access to some Intl Destinations.The operative word being some,and it clearly shows the access number to spain on this service is an 0843 number.

The 18185 service mentioned by David is a popular one..But i should point out whilst the 0808 freephone access number may be free to call . 18185 charge you from your account to complete call at these rates.

Another useful service is http://www.localphone.com/call/spain a prepay a/c at good rates access via a geographical number but no set up fees / connection charge.

And the phone numbers are very similar, just a few digits changed. Is it the same company? Someone got trigger-happy with the 0161 numbers: 0161 311 32222!
