O2 old ( Tariffs) contracts still include ngn numbers in their inclusive minutes apart from 0871. At the present time if you ask O2 they will still put you on an old tariff including these numbers.
I didn't know that. According to their website
here and specifically their small print:
Quote:± The 20p/min rate applies on all Pay Monthly plans where customers have connected or upgraded from 27 April 2007 onwards, and calls to these numbers are not included in bundle minutes for these plans. Customers who have connected or upgraded to a Pay Monthly plan before April 27 will be charged as for standard UK landlines (01 & 02 numbers).
They make clear that new connections or upgrades from 27th April 2007 will find that all 08x numbers are chargable and not included in inclusive minutes.
However, like you said, "at the
present time..", so it wont be long before they are told they can no longer do that as well.
Can anyone else confirm whether other networks actually inform you of the actual cost of calling freephone numbers, or just simply state something along the lines of 'standard' rates apply.
