    I've just tried to use the 0844 721 2525 number for a UK call and was told by the automated voice that I had to dial a new number = 0844 896 2525 for UK calls at 3p per minute. I've checked the website and it now lists the UK as 3p per minute. Their cheap 1p rate did not last long! But 3p is quite cheap compared with dialing a mobile without a prefix code.

    If you read this thread your see thats already been mentioned. Cheapest supplier for the moment https://www.discountdial.co.uk

    This looks great, but there are 4 different tariffs for the uk alone!, am i right in thinking that the 0844 is charged at the BT rate for 0845, THEN the additional charge as stated??, does'nt it make things expensive for non-mobile calls, esp international ones?
    No one said it was gonna be easy!

    The UK Mobile Dial Through Access Number is 0844 861 64 64 (shown as UK Wireless) This number is charged at 1p a minute but a minimum call charge of 5p applies in the case of short calls.

    0844 numbers are charged at the 0844 rate not as 0845. This rate can be between 1p to 5p depending on code after 0844.

    All you pay is what you see,nothing is added.
