Don't know, couldn't find it anywhere. I suggest you ask again. Ask them how you can have a "local rate" on a mobile. The tariff pages do make it clear that non-geographical numbers are excluded, so "local rate" is completely misleading.

The annoying thing is, if you call to ask them, it'll either cost 20p from your mobile, or 0870 rates from a landline.

I think all phone operators should have to provide a table giving the rates for every available code in a standard format, that can easily found by customers. Tesco is particularly bad in not listing costs of 0845 and 0870; others don't give costs of calling 0844 numbers (because there's such a range of prices).

As an aside, while I was looking at the Tesco site, I noticed this:

It is, and always has, been very difficult to get prices for these type of calls as the networks (landlines included) don't like to publish them because it highlights that they're excluded from tariffs and in some cases that these calls cost a lot more - especially from a mobile.

New rules from Ofcom come into force from Monday 21st August and at this time all teleco's/mobile networks are meant to (although I doubt it without them being pushed into it) clearly indicate the prices to these numbers as they do their geographical numbers.  In other words, they have to give equal prominence to both the costs of NGN's like they do their geographical numbers.

This is why I think o2 have recently announced changes in their pricing of these numbers because with o2 it varied between 35ppm to 5ppm for some type of numbers.  Now its 15ppm regardless of time of day or number called (with the exception of 0871).

Tesco mobile, which are also bound by the same rules as other telecos (ie displaying the cost of these numbers), should also display their costs on their website from Monday 21st.

At a guess (it is ONLY a guess) but Tesco may charge the same as o2 because Tesco mobile uses the o2 network.  Tesco, may on the other hand, want to add a few pence on to o2's prices.

To find the scale of charges for NG numbers, go to www.tescointernetphone.com click on the left hand side link "How much does it cost?" and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Here you will find a very long list of various charges.

The funny thing is, the price list gives the cost of calls to various mobile networks, but not to Tesco mobiles!  It even includes rival virtual operator Virgin.

I have to say, there are cheaper VoIP providers around.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been on holiday. Yes it is an 0800 number. I'm probably being a bit thick but I'm not sure what the solution is that you are 'winking' at! Other of course than treying to find out a Geo number possibly.
