    You will find that these horrible non- geographic numbers are NOT included in your free minutes. My advice is don`t dial them (look at `Say No To 0870` website to find an alternative first!! ) https://www.saynoto0870.co.uk

    Also look at Martins bit on Home / Mobile Phones here:- Home/ Phone Feature
  • :(((((( this contract is useless for me. whats the point if i cant even call my insurance company for free?

    uff just what i dreaded. i made a call today already!!
    if anyone wants my advise.. stick with payg o2 has 100 mins anytime anynetwork for only £10.00 a month!! no hasssles!! plus get a bolt on for £7.99 which gives another 50 mins!!

    so for £10.00 u got 150 mins and 0845 0870 numbers work on it!!

    and spend upto £100.00 on a nice phone :))

    sorry guys abit off topic but im dissapointed!

    Orange don't allow calls to 0845/0870 numbers however as Seaniboy has said O2 do allow calls to these numbers from your inclusive mins.

    I would suggest you cancel your Orange contract if your within your first 14 days of your contract and get yourself along to the O2 shop.

    The deal Seaniboy also talks about with the CallBolt on 500 is great if your a PAYG user who calls the 0845/0870 numbers. The only way to get this is to call the Retention Team at O2.
  • However if its to late you can dial 0845/0870/0800 by using one of the many SF 07744 dial through numbers like 07744 97 4116,4404.4333,etc etc etc ,out of your Orange inclusive x-net minutes for free.

    Are there any offers at all to be had on Orange? My bf is always getting free texts and cashback on his PAYG o2 phone but us Orange customers get nothing. :mad:
