    Good news! The offer is still available. You just need to call 452 instead of 450 and then 2,2,1,2,1.

    Have a look at the MSE call checker
    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/

    I suggest always try and use the cheapest provider, try dialaround 0844 428 69 69 at 4p which connects to both mobiles and landlines.

    Are 0844 calls included in free minutes on Orange?
    I hope the answer is Yes

    This PDF on Page 20 says that orange charges according to talk plan?
    I couldnt get if it means use of inclusive minutes or what.

    Vodaphone:
    I called Vodaphone and asked them about charges to 0844 numbers and they said it is not included in your minutes and charged higher than normal depending on the use of number.

    I was not able to check other networks but I will stick to orange if i need to call 0844 number for international calls. Calls are 4p/min from best minutes and check the international call checker posted in previous posts for latest rates.

    0844 Call are NOT included in inclusive minutes from Orange Pay Monthly (Charged 10p to 30p)

    However these calls are charged at your "standard" rate on PayG. This means if you buy a bundle for calls to Orange and Landline then 0844 will be included in that bundle. Many peeps are using this service and are happy. :)
  • I made test call from Pay Monthly (xNet & Orange to Orange, Landline), Bill is due next week, then I'll let you know.

    I've just tried this and sadly there does not appear to be any unlimited weekend offer. I was presented with two options. The first was £2.00 for 60 minutes, and the second was £5 for 150 mins. I'll be very happy indeed to be proven wrong.
    Do you make things happen, watch things happen, or just wonder, what happened?

    The Monthly priceguide on Orange website clearly says

    0844 10p

    0844 (followed by 428 and more) upto 30p

    The PayG priceguide on Orange website clearly says

    0844 "at rate of standard calls"
    and luckily Orange to Orange budles include calls to standard numbers :)

    Hope your call will cost you just a few pence
