If you can use the 18866 access code its zero pea a min.EG: BT line rental customer.

If you use the Cable or Mobile 0808/020 access codes its 1p a min.

In both cases a connection charge of 3p applies.

Have you tried looking at the 18866 website for a cable user??

In case you have difficulty in finding the website through google it is:

Hi all, just had my first 0.5p per min voice and immediately came to the site. Thanks to Heinz for pointing me in the right direction. I've been with Call 1899 for 3 months now and my average spend is about £9 some of it mobiles, so I guess I've now got the task of working out how much more I'll be paying! However, looking through the posts it seems that it will still be the cheapest. Just feel peeved that it's us non-BT customers that are having to pay.

For the record in 3 months of use I have only occasionally had to redial the access number because it doesn't seem to go through. I've never had an engaged signal.

After a lot of research - on this site - I decided to go with 1899 10 days ago and bought an orchid dialler (a tenner down the drain?). So I had 10 days of 0p a min (yes another NTL customer).

Really like this site and the sound advice - but not very impressed with 1899!!! :mad:

Tell me though, how much would a call through NTL be?

Evening and local calls wouldn't be much more and I wouldn't have had to buy a dialler. Could have gone with Onetel

Nothing to stop you going with Onetel for evening and w/end calls with 1899 for daytime calls, do remember that NTL will charge 5p connection charge compared to 1899 of 3p and using your Orchid Dialler to route your calls.

I am a ntl customer, and I have also found the price rise today. However I saw a NTL advert for new customers for £10-50 line rental and free calls after 6pm to 01 & 02 numbers, so i rang them up and asked if I agreed to another 12mth contract could I also have the free calls. I got told as I already had a discount for broadband £10/mth 1meg I could only have it for 3mths (but ring back in 3mths and get it put back on said the lovely Welsh lass) which I intend to do.....So free calls after 6p & all weekend.
