Any alternative numbers for this - if not, what are the call charges on landline (onetel) and fresh mobile??

Cheers, Ali

Not sure what that link was supposed to bring - I was hoping for an a non 0870 number 

The 0870 number is the only one fresh mobile provide, for contacting their customer service - either to top up, or check balances etc.

I was hoping someone had an alternative, as I hate 0870 no.s, whether it is from my landline, or mobile.

for info, there were a couple of numbers on the unverified list here

ie 0208 8965000 - and ask to be transfered to fresh - used this today and it works fine.

also 0800 0490800 - endless loop, so can't verify!

If the freephone number asks for a mobile number then just ignore it a few times because on some systems they still put you through.  Some are rude though and just hang up on you.  The cost of calling a 01 or 02 number known as geographical numbers will cost a 3ppm from a BT landline daytime, and 5.5p for an hour during the evening & weekend.  Other landline providers generally charge less than BT unless you're on a NTL/Telewest landline.  Also, if you have an all-inclusive calling package then the call will be free again depending on type of package and time of day you call.

Nope, an 0870 number is NOT free and that is misleading for Fresh/TalkTalk/Carephoneware to mention that.  An 0870 costs 7.5ppm daytime (again from a BT landline).  Other networks generally charge more than BT for 084x/087x calls and in some cases it can cost upto 40ppm from a mobile.

A google of the postcode gives it as carphone whorehouse main office, and 192 gives this number for it
0800 138 8699

Hmmm.....I'm not to bothered because i know now that an 0870 number is not freephone but someone else won't. I suppose that is a downside to the cheap calls offered on fresh mobile, you have to pay to check your balance.
