'Free Internet' 0845 123000

'Free internet' 0845 123000 I wonder if anyone has a geographical number for this 0845?  It's an ISP and I'm not even quite sure if 'Free internet' is their name.  Many thanks.

A Google of this number seems to suggest it is a number for Weight Watchers...

Apart from the fact that we class the ISP's use of 0845/0844 as valid to pay for what is otherwise access to their free services, this has been discussed at some length before.

Even if there were an alternative for it, it wouldn't get you what you're after. The service would have to be wound up as it would be losing money.

There ain't no such thing as a
free lunch
and although it may be called Free-Dialup.net, it has to be paid for somehow.

My apologies - it seems that site has actually misquoted the number - it should be 08457 123000. Thanks for the heads up though Dave Smiley.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that.  It's kind of what I expected.  It takes so long on a dial up modem, I was hoping there may have been a way in but I guess ethically it might be a bit dodgy.  I'll just have to investigate broadband.

Cheers,

J

Or, assuming you have a 1899, 18185 or 18866 account, use www.geoISP.co.uk - dial up internet for 5p per session (no per minute charges).

Come, come, Heinz.
You are forgetting to offer the services of your favourite, Primus Saver 2. Then the session would cost 0p in the evening / weekends, when presumably that is the most probable time of connection.
Also the session could last for 90mins instead of 60.

No need..I already have Primus so it's free in the evening but 18185 is good for day time. Cheers.
