"Simply-Fone" on Vodafone Stop the Clock?

I am on Vodafone Pay as You Go and wondering if Stop the Clock would be applicable to Simply-Fone. (I am still using the old school 07744974333 number, should I be using the new one on the website?)

Also, what's the most efficient way to use Vodafone Pay as you Go? As in I remember reading somewhere that there is a mobiles equivalent of 18866 for the Mobile Phone - if so what service is this. Does Teletop work on Vodafone or did Vodafone click to the 0208-1 802 802 access number?

Thanks in advance for your input.

    stop the clock should work with simply-fone as it is a mobile number. If it is not a vodafone number the 1st 3 minutes will be at the cross network rate, otherwise it should just be 5p per min or whatever it is. Might be worth making a 4 or 5 min call first I guess and check your credit after, to see if it's just gone down by 3 mins worth

    if you do use Stop-the-clock with other providers like 1899 18866 18185 and calling cards, you can press # to follow on calls and still be on the same call for Vodafone

    I was thinking that to, but obviously stop the clock isn't till 7:30PM tonight so I'll have to start then, I'll try the Simplyfone first. What's the best suggestion that's not 1899 or such?

    Does Tele-top work for Vodafone?
  • 07744 is not a mobile network, its a dial through number, so it may not work.
    See http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPricePlanFAQS for Stop the clock terms.

    Stop the clock will not work with the simply-fone number, you can use the orange number that has been publish on the forum but gets deleted, that will work. But how long that orange number stay active is anyone guess.

    surely a landline access number is cheaper anyway?
  • I am always on the move... please with the mythical orange number?
