Orsonkart, can you enlightten further? O2 say they can't tell me, Debenhams say the quoted prices and you say something else. If O2 can tell me, which is what you seem to be telling me then could you do one better than me and them and find the costs on their website because I couldn't and both phoning and emailing O2 gave the same answer
If its this hard no wonder the companies are making money!

O2 treat calls to 0870 as fixed line calls.( UK Fixed Line Calls include calls made in the UK to standard UK Fixed-Line Numbers, voicemail menu access and retrieval, fax calls, and calls to free phone, local rate and national rate numbers (0845 and 0870).
So once you have used up your contract inclusive minutes which include 0870 calls,any 0870 calls outside of the inclusive minutes would be charged the same as if you were phoning a 01/02 number . The amount they charge for this depends on what tariiff you are on.On the latest O2 tariff its 20p a minute.

The person you are calling on any NGN numbers eg Debenhams cant possibly know what your supplier will charge you.The costs vary considerably from supplier to supplier.Eg if you were on O2 payg it would be 35p a minute peak to an 0870 number.
Suggest you find out what 02 would charge you to call an 01/02 number outside your inclusive minutes at peak rate and use this figure.Thats if your on a contract.
If your on PAYG the rates (35p peak) can be found here.
