Just took out one of these deals, but when I rang Orange CS about it, they are stating that this number is not free at all, off-peak/peak or if your on OVP. Am i missing something? Anybody here on an Offpeak X-Net tariff with orange who isnt being charged for dialing the Simply fone access number (077 44)? The woman whom I spoke to seem to believe that it isnt free on any tariff at all! Anyhelp is appreciated.

Cheers

    LOL, I think they'd realise with the thousands of free calls they give out to these few numbers plus the fact that it was REINSTATED from being charged before.

    Anyway, I rang them back, this operator was also adamant that it was NOT included in my monthly allowance until I asked him to check with his senior who then informed him otherwise. So it is infact included in cross network allowance, but the monkeys on the phone don't have a clue!
