I took out a contract on the orange network with 500 anytime any network minutes. Does anyone know what minutes these include ?

I know you could use 0870 and 0800 numbers befour. Can you still use these ?

    Does that mean they are not inclusive in the orange deal ?

    You can't use 0800 numbers, 0870 numbers or 0845 numbers for free on Orange. They are charged outside of your free minutes.

    Which is poo.

    I was mad about the 0800 thing, as Orange didn't bother to tell me...but never mind. Let's not bring that one up again!

    No you can't ring 0800 numbers from Orange. Used to be able to, but not anymore

    You can ring them on Orange but you will be charged.

    But only out of your Orange x-network inclusive minutes.Your charged if you run out of x-net minutes,or if you have contract that does not give you any.

    Unless you are a Business Customer with Orange you can ring 0800 numbers for FREE!

    Pretty useless if your not a business customer, and they still charge for 0845/0870 calls unlike O2 who do include them in x-net minutes.
