    :confused: The OP would know what the costs would be they are clearly stated on the Indirect Providers sites. Eg: www.1899.com

    Sorry i dont know if you can call using short code ,only BT have to allow this.

    You can use their Non BT Freephone or Geographical access numbers Eg: www.1899.com/mobilerates.php but different rates apply.

    Can any user of this service tell me if you can use the likes of 1899/18185 ?

    Yes.

    And should they ever change it, you can leave with 15 days notice.

    Thanks very much.:D
  • Free weekend calls to all UK, US and Canadian mobiles up to 60 minutes, 5p a minute thereafter.

    Does anyone know if the calls to mobiles are for a total of 60 minutes over the whole weekend or that each call is 60 minutes and you can have as many 60 minutes as you like? I doubt it is the former cos it would be too good to be true!

    Yes, mobile calls will be up to 60 minutes, same as landline ones, but theres nothing stopping you hanging up and ringing them back after 60 mins!!
    It is indeed a very good offer!!

    Don't mean to be patronising but have you checked with Post Office themselves or are you making an assumption? The reason I ask is that I have looked at their wording and it looks very suspicious to me cos in their T&C they do state with the landline calls you can dial as many times as you like but they do not state this on mobiles.

    I work for them....
    Also remember that this offer is not active until september, so all T&C's and little bits may not be totally honed yet as its still a bit away.

    All T&Cs look suspicious. That's the whole idea.

    Get the deal printed off and try and get a leaflet at the PO.
