    Doubt you'll get much for them

    They normally sell for £1.99 including postage on the Vodafone site

    What details are you changing? Presumably as it's one order per HOUSEHOLD, the system is programmed to detect multiple orders from the same postcode and house number. I entered my postcode for the system to find my address but then I changed the postcode on the next screen before submitting it (I substituted the number "1" for a letter "I" so that it still reads like a "1" but the system didn't recognise it as being the same postcode). If you have a "1" or a "0" in your postcode or house number you could try substituting it for a letter "I" or "O" (or possibly a "S" for a "5") - it worked for me :naughty:

    I also considered leaving the "space" out of the postcode but I didn't actually try it so I don't know if that would in fact work :idea:

    Leaving the space out worked for me.

    I spent the other evening intermittently looking at their pages the other day, for six hours!

    I just registered the free one that came early in the year - I reckon using it from abroad with the Passport scheme looks interesting, and I may have just figured how to make several calls as one (use a calling card costing 1.3p/min, press # at end of each 'call' - well I hope it works without cutting off the main call, can try it here soon)

    ps - the post code look up isn't much use - it missed a line out of my address :rotfl: and it says only a maximum of two orders per household, when I haven't made one

    *edit* - I tried the follow-on-call idea with 18866 access, and it works - press # and then dial the next number - thus the call to 18866 is a single call, and charged as such by Vodafone, which is useful with stop the clock and Passport ...

    *edit 2* - but do this with 1899 instead for 0p/min
