Any and all help will be much appreciated

    Providing you have got cross network inclusive minutes you can use one of the SF access numbers 07744 97 4116,4404,4333, etc etc etc.These work Mon to Fri 24/5 to Pakistan LL or Mobiles.

    Or you can use https://www.dialaround.co.uk 0844 428 69 69.

    You might find the SF 07744 line quality is better.

    Once you have used up your inclusive minutes O2 will charge you for calls.

    If you have O2 cross network inclusive minute.Calls to 0800 0844/0845/0870 numbers are normally included. Not 0871.

    I just used my o2 phone to call an 0844 number it was ok.

    I could use 0844 numbers last week, i just tried today from 2 different contracts and both of them say that the number is not recognised. Could it be something to do with sigining up with O2 treats?

    couldnt use o2 to 0844 either?

    why not? could it be that dialaround numbers were barred??

    It probably means that the callthrough provider doesn't recognise the destination number - maybe they switched to a different tariff.
