Any sensible mobile contracts?
Mar 28^th, 2008 at 12:22am

A few years back I had a mobile contract with orange where 0800 numbers were free and I could use my inclusive minutes for 0845 numbers - pretty sensible. I am now with O2 and I cant even use my inclusive minutes for 0800 and 0845 numbers - what a rip off! I wasted about £30 because I didnt notice that O2 had started charging extra for 0845 mid contract Sad

My contract is up for renewal so can anyone suggest a mobile contract with a logical pricing structure for 0800 and 0845 numbers?

This can be avoided by using one of the Pre-Dial Access Numbers 0200 222 0700 or 0900 out of your inclusive minutes. If one doesnt work on your network the other usually does.It works only for freephone numbers not 0845/0870.

A cheaper way to call 0845/0870 from a mobile is to use http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php via their 020 access number out of your inclusive minutes
