I call Japan, Austria and New Zealand regularly and have found that Telestunt is cheapest for Japan and Austria (0845 - 1p/min eves and weekends) where as I can use call18866 for New Zealand @2p/min (+1p connection) and I'm happy to use them for other less often called countries (if I don't bother to check beforehand....)
How can this be set up in the 'routing table'?
Also, does anyone know where I can find a list of BT's call charges? I'm sure someone mentioned a site that contained them but I can't find it at the moment and BT don't have an easily accessible list on their own site to use. I'm trying to find call costs for 0845/0870 numbers as a few people have mentioned BT as being the cheapest option for those.
Thanks

P.S. It is on BT's website but, as you say, not easy to find (I've got it stored as a favourite).
I know I spent ages searching BT's website one day for them and all I could find were a list of downloadable files which had some obscure file format so, having no idea what software would be needed to read them, I gave up!
I've now got that page bookmarked for future reference too

For those looking at buying a dialler can highly recommend it. My delivery was 24hrs & the lady on the phone explained the product to me in full before my purchase.
The set up of the box takes a little bit of time (took me about an hour cos getting it to 'ring home' was awkward - but stick with it, well worth the dividends !!!)
I had a problem with mine in that every time I made a call the recorded 1899 message told me that the number didn't exist or was engaged (yet all my numbers are stored on phone so I knew they were correct numbers). Turned out to be that the dialler box needed a small forced delay/pause which the guys at Orchid sorted out for me within 24hrs.
Now I am working fine and paying next to nowt for all my phone calls - well chuffed !!!!
Thanks to those that posted the original threads about 1899/18866 and this dialler !!!!!!
Me and my other half are just buying our first house so this should save us some cash from the get go
Has anybody ever got incorrect calls billed to them by either 18866 or the other number i cant remember?
thanks all

Frustratingly they use an 0870 number for this support!
