Cheaper Calls to Indian Mobiles.

pricefighter

Just noticed that https://www.bestminutes.co.uk are doing a bargain rate to Indian Mobiles on 0844 566 61 61.5p a min.( Strangely its cheaper then calls to Indian Landlines.)

Great rate for O2 users,or from a landline.

Odd how its cheaper to call an Indian Mobile then a UK one.

wouldn't O2 users be better off using simplyfone's 07744 974404 service as 0p is cheaper than 5p..

No.Because
1.Simply Fone no works only 24/5 Mon to Fri.Where as this number works 24/7 apparently.

2.Calls to 0844 numbers are included in O2 inclusive x-net minutes,as are 07744 numbers.

I am not sure where you get the idea that 07744 calls are free because you actually pay for them out of your inclusive minutes.So if your got 200 x-net minutes at £30 a month,the calls are in fact actually costing you 15p a minute.

PS. Are you by any chance a SF agent you do mentioned them a lot in your postings .

can the simplyfone service be used from a PAYG phone, eg from O2, Virgin etc with a talk bundle?

It can only be used from o2 contracts with x-net minutes.o2 payg with x-net boltons,and orange contracts with x-net minutes.Every other network normally charges.

You will see their is a very long thread running on it.Suggest you have a read of it

YEH!! BUT IF 07744 NUMBERS ARE NOT FREE COZ THEY COM,E OUTA YR INCLUSIVE MINUTES -- THEN BY DEFINITION SO ARE THE 0844 NUMBERS - SO THAT ARGUMENT IS ANOMALOUS. & IN ANY EVENT I'VE TRIED THE 0844 ROUTE & THE 07744 SERVICE & THE QUALITY OF CALL VIA THE 07744974404 SERVICE IS MILES BETTER

I did not suggest that 0844 numbers were free it was you using 0844 5p, 07744 free. Of course anything you dial out of your inclusive minutes comes at a price.

Another advantage of 0844 numbers is that o2 payg users without inclusive minutes can phone them for 10p evenings, and 2p weekends.

Keep on enjoying the excellent tips everybody gets on this site. :money:
