Does anyone know what ntl will charge for this number. I've checked their non-geographic pdf list but that number is not listed.

Hmm.. a bit of a difference to the 1p that pennyphone are offering. I guess only BT users will benefit then.

What number were you ringing 0844 721 4 721 gives out 1p announcement.

Note.Ntl tend to charge the same as Bt to call 0844 numbers so it will probaly be 1p a minute.One tel however charge 10% more.

I'm sorry I don't quite understand your question?

The offer is from pennyphone and you dial the number that pf just quoted and you get your call to India at 1p a minute.

Have you tried it yet?



Oh and Crazy Chemist, its now 31 October

Yes, I know but it doesn't work I got a message first saying the destinaion number was busy and I had to then redial, another 5p connection, then a message said i didn't have enough credit. Redialed again, to be told that I need to phone through 0871 access number as it is 7p per minute to India.

I suspect this is a scam of some sort - nobody can offer calls at 1p and make a profit. Rememer Martin's article about the 5-ring slamdown regarding BT 1571 how much money BT and other companies made by consumers paying 5p every time the 1571 answered the phone? What's so different here?
