Free International Calls

Poketalk now seem to be offering free international calls using your inclusive minutes by dialling 07924 000 108.

See here: http://poketalk.com/index.php/pages_c/freecalls

This appears to be a similar service to that of the 07744 access numbers that were widely available a number of years back.

I tried this from Orange and it connected successfully, although I haven't tried it on any of the other networks so can't say if it's inclusive on them.

    that page only shows up for people who are logged in to their account

    correction: I just logged in, and it still doesn't work

    it will not be inclusive on all networks, some charging 50p a minute

    Where do you have to be logged in to your account? I don't have an account and can see number without any problems and it connects from my phone without any account.

    I didn't say an account was needed for the service

    ok, perhaps it's a browser issue; I just tried another and that displays it ok

    So is it confirmed on Orange that it comes out of your allowance and which countries can you ring?

    This service also works and is free on the O2 network using cross-network minutes. I've also heard that it's free on T-mobile for customers who use Flext, but I can't confirm that.
