I'm not sure I'd trust them yet with my debit catd no. CJB.

Like most callthroughs it charges as soon as you make the call, whether or not it successfully connects. As such i doubt if i would chance using it to call UK mobiles on it's higher 10p rate number Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK

Pressing the star button 3 times produces a "P" which is a 2 second pause, if that's not enough add as many as you need together. e.g. 3510200pp00441234123456 and save it to a phone memory Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK

Actually I have set this up up with 4 p's (the '#' held down gives a 'p') So the no. is now: 3510200pppp00441234123456 But on the S2 this is too long for a direct entry to the contacts directory, so I entered it as a 'speed dial' no. for '4'. Then I created a new contact for the person in the directory linking to the speed dial no. of 4. AND IT WORKED. And my recent call of 30 mins only cost 60p. Last time I did this using Three itself it cost me £6 - although when I complained Three refunded this. Great stuff. Chris B. |
