I have happily used www.callthru.co.uk to phone all over the world (as
part of my inclusive minutes) for several months now - without a
problem . . . .

However, I am now leaving my Orange Contract, probably for Vodafone or
O2 - and wanted to know if anyone (on either of these networks) has
been able to use Callthru in the same way?

FYI, I have recently used the access number 07978 620002 - without a
problem!

Thanks in advance,

Denmead.

I haven't used it at all, but I understand that O2 blocked this
several months ago, and that Orange announced forthcoming charging of
the numbers of a certain service from December 1st, which may or may
not have been this one. Vodafone seems unlikely to me; they publish a
list of prefixes they don't count in inclusive minutes, but it is not
complete. So do 3, and likewise. T-mobile charge for non main networks
on adjacent prefixes, so probably would this or more likely just bar
it. You might have to look for other ideas

lists it as belonging to:
Oxygen8 Communications UK Limited Mobile services

So it may be charged at mobile rate, or you might be unlucky
and get charged at personal number rate

It's a risk.

At least with PAYG inc mins such as on 3 Flat 12 you could check
after the call what they charged you

more detail than my last post:

O2 barred these numbers in late Jan or early Feb last year

Orange made them chargeable from December 1st

T-mobile definitely barred

Vodafone payt will charge all 07978 35p/min from 5th Jan (last week)

3 excepts them from inclusive minutes
