    Not a good idea at peak rate expensive. O2 is probaly the best evenings and weekends 10p evenings,2p weekends. What countries are you calling their could be a cheaper way.

    the o2 online pay as you go sim cards where you put £10 on each month for the 100 anytime any network mins allow you to phone 0844 from the free mins they provide. You get to keep the £10 as well

    Excellent point you can also call 0845/0870 numbers using this method and i believe 07744 numbers.

    Does anybody know if you have got 150 evening/weekend minutes (£15 top up) whether you can dial 0844/845/0870 numbers,and 07744 out of them for free.

    How do you get to keep your free minutes? surely, the 100 minutes equates to 10p per minute - and your £10 gets used up!

    Each month that you top-up by £10, you get 100 x-net minutes free on top of the £10 you put on yourself. You can also opt for 300 free text messages instead of the free minutes or even a combination of the two.

    Its a bit of a minefield.But to enable me to give you a more accurate answer when will you be mainly calling the 0844 numbers? eg evenings and weekends
