They changed it from october 8th 2008 that you get free calls to mobiles from 6pm friday to 6am monday, on there website it says 60 minutes - hence my question earlier if it was just 60 minutes or you can hang up and redial

cool - I'll look into it !

hi,

I may be a bit dim here, but can some one who already uses this service please clarify that calls to mobiles are free for up to 60 minutes and that you can hang up and redial again, and the call is still free.

As it looks to me that its just 60 minutes worth of calls are free across the weekend for mobile calls.

thanks in advance

Calls are not strictly Free their Inclusive

Their FAQ pages say:

"Evening and Weekend calls to numbers beginning with area code 01, 02 & 03, calls to all UK mobiles and calls to our top 20 international destinations are included as long as they do not exceed 60 minutes. You should re-dial after 60 minutes to avoid charges."

why isn't postoffice home having free numbers to call? ie with BT its 150 free from your landline,postoffice 0845 .& another question did i get the best deal,concidering i moved from BT to join them.

cant believe it, i've been with the post office home phone for almost a year and didn't hear anything about free calls to mobiles until i found out by flewk earlier.

i spent nearly £4 in calls on my pay as you go phone earlier :mad: grr, this is great news, i only make calls on the mobile at weekends so this is awesome news, i can make em free of charge off my home phone now!

only thing i dont like with the post office is that i get charged £4 a month for caller display, it was free with BT but cant moan realy with the free mobile calls, and with friends emigrating to Australia soon the free international calls will come in handy too :j

You should only be paying £1.75p a month.

i wouldn't feel like that mate, i was worried at first, but my bills are about a tenner cheaper per quarter to what they were with BT . (i had a look back through some old bills earlier)

FREE calls to mobiles from 6pm Friday to 6am Monday awesome if you have a pay as you go mobile (as i do)

the only downfall for me was they don't give the little extras like caller display free like BT do, though, the free mobile calls more than makes up for that

my advice keep it simple. get a BT line 12 months free evening weekend calls and cps or overide your international calls.get e bill if you can and pay direct debit to avoid extras and as long as you make some calls with bt (free or chargable)the caller display and 1571 remain free. plus the connection is free or at least reduced.
