i work at an o2 store, in september 2007 all non-geographical numbers are being removed from inclusive allowances, this changed for new customers around april but as of september all existing customers will loose this aswell.
my girlfriend is from poland and regularly rings via an 0844 number, loosing this from her minutes will result in her spending vast amounts of money @ 20p per minute.
Does anyone know of alternatives????

In this situation it would be best to make the calls from a landline. Cost to Poland is ½p/min. See the following website for the various 0844 access numbers:

Yes, I'd noticed that (in text message form atleast...) - now I have a valid reason for using geographic alternatives. Keep up the good work all saynoto0870ers.

i use http://www.noodle.co.uk/ for free international calls on orange. You may have heard that orange banned 07744 numbers, well there is no 07822 numbers. You get your own 07822 number to dial before your international number.

@ the Noodle number - O2 charge 40 pence a minute for these calls at the moment

@ irrelevant + rob - there are several other Betamax VoIP brands, mostly also 1c + vat a minute via the callthrough access option, though DialNow is half that. To Polish mobiles, DialNow is 4c, JustVoip 5c, +vat, though the new brand Nonoh is improbably 2c + vat  at the moment and surely can't last at that rate

@ rob - also consider using a T-mobile payg SIM with callthrough access of Yourcallworld - 3 pence a minute, or various other payg offers at from 5p/min, or  callback from ReturnCall or sms callback from some Betamax brands - JustVoip the cheapest - and the trigger sms will come from those included on the O2 contract

I don't know if this will help you I used to use the service when I had to contact the FAR EAST
