What Happened to the UK call checker?

Minerva_2

Just wondered, whatever happened to MSE's UK call checker? I know that it was only a beta, but it was very useful!

• Right up above you on the blue bar, called International Call Checker now.

I think he/she was referring to the UK callchecker that Martin had started a while ago.

Update:

The thread that MSE Martin had started concerning the UK Call Checker is here where Martin provides a link to here but this page appears to be a blank page now.

Yep, that's the one! But as you say, it just comes up a blank page now.

It still works for me - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/callchecker/UK/index.php

But it's certainly not up-to-date (doesn't even mention 18185 for calls to UK mobiles).

It still doesn't work for me.

I use IE6, what do you use?

It could just be an issue with a browser!

IE - header bar with 40000 byes of blank page

good guess - it works in Firefox, but you still get a blank page when pressing View Prices

That's exactly what I get.

I'm assuming Heinz uses FireFox or something and this is a browser compatibility issue or Heinz is using a very old cached copy of the UK Call checker (but this is less likely though).

Heinz

Yup. Firefox 1.5.

Copying the url into IE produces just the header (Martin in his Father Christmas beard).

Strange, it works (with some up-to-date info [e.g. cleverates' new 1p/minute rate to UK mobiles]) for me.
