18185 offline?
May 5th, 2007 at 9:47pm
 
Has anyone else found that 18185 seems to have vanished (sort of)?  Their London number (020 7001 9725) seems disconnected, and their website is unreachable.  Dialling through 18185 on a BT line works though I don't always get the "x p per minute" message.  Is it just they're swamped over the bank holiday weekend?  Or signs of more serious problems?

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015

Not sure about 18866 but 1899 and 18185 seem to be the same crowd.  About to switch over to Orange Broadband with free international calls anyway but 18185 still has better international rates to most destinations that aren't free with Orange Broadband (including 084/087!).  BTW what's with the anti-1571 tag?  Just curious as I want to switch mine off.

The good news is all 3 'networks' are working (using the prefixes from a BT line), even if their websites are not.

18185's website is back up now.  The London number's been changed, now 020 8180 2828.  And it even works after my mobile number's been ported from Vodafone to Orange!   Grin Grin Grin

Thanks!  Would be nice to have been told this from 18185!  Anyway just noticed that 1899 is now offering a new service, 13434, from the Irish Republic.  Website looks almost identical to 18185's.  Are they both, or all three, are Finarea's?  All three websites have just died again, just as I was trying to send an email to 18185 to ask if I could add my Irish mobile to my existing 18185 account.
