    Does anyone know what numbers you can call using the 0200 222 0700 access number? I have an old O2 Free Best Friend sim around somewhere, so I was thinking of registering this number as the best friend. Would it therefore be possible to call 0200 222 0700 and get access to call other mobile networks, landlines, and 0800/0500/0844/0845/0870 numbers etc etc

    only for freephone numbers

    instead, you might list 1899 or 18185's London number as your friend - ok not free but still cheap
  • Or perhaps you could register one of the 07744 numbers as a best friend (I dont know what the T&C were,and if it allowed you to nominate cross net numbers). If it did, you can dial 01/02 ,0845,0870,All Freephone Numbers,and Intl.The only thing not easily accessible is Mobile which you could get cheaper in two hops, by first calling say 18185 access number, then the mobile number.
