Reply #3 - Dec 29^th, 2005 at 5:24pm Its a newish 0844 number so OneTel havent got round to listing it yet.But BT class it as a 1p a minute number so OneTel will charge 1O% more to call it. 1.1p If you havent moved your line rental to Onetel you can get it at BT,s rates by using the 1280 override service.

Yes thats right 0844 numbers normally come in five bands. ranging from 1p to 5p on BT. OneTel add 10% so when you paid 4.4p and 5.5p you must have been calling 4p and 5p banded numbers.

Thats one of the disadvantages of moving your line rental from BT.You cant use the 1280 override to get cheaper 0844/0845/0870 calls.

www.cleverates.co.uk is registered to Callax who also run Abroadtel. Abroadtel were doing a 1p per minute mobile promotion around halloween time.

Practical experience shows that unlike Finarea Callax brand call quality is extremely suspect and calls often don't connect (costing you the initial 5p) so I would treat with caution. Only use if you expect the call to the mobile to last 5 minutes or more.

Just tried using the number (using my O2 inclusive minutes), and it connects to my own mobiles no problem.

However the loophole I was hoping for is not there. That is 07744 numbers!!

When I tried an 07744 number as my destination, it sounded like I had got through to a fax machine. I even tried the 07744 number direct, just incase they were out of service temporarily, but it worked fine. I then tried an 0870 number, and it came with an announcement that the destination was unavailable.

Oh well, nice try though!!

Surely O2 aren't giving you calls to 0844 nrs from your inclusive minutes, are they ?
