as i am sick of getting billed for these number on my current contract

*!*HIBS*!*

What network are you with now? I know that o2 include 0845, 0800 and 0870 numbers as part of their inclusive minutes. 0871 is chargeable. I think orange were the last networks to start charging for phoning 0800 numbers.

3 inclusive minutes does not include 0800, 0808, 0500, 0845 and 0870
Orange inclusive minutes does not include 0800
T-mobile inclusive minutes does not include 0845 and 0870
Vodafone inclusive minutes does not include 0800, 0808, 0500, 0845 and 0870

The o2 contracts with your inclusive call time you can call 0845, 0800, 0870 numbers.

The only network that allows calls to 0800/0845/0870 numbers from your inclusive minutes is O2.

Some 07744 providers also allow you to call them.So if your with Orange or Virgin with x-net minutes you could use this way.

is there a website for all these very useful information? or maybe someone did a FAQ? i just want to be 100% sure that what is included in the inclusive minutes.

You can also call 0844. But curiously, when describing all of these inclusive dialling prefixes, 02 use the word "some" in their terms and conditions, as follows:

"Inclusive call minutes can be used to call some non-geographical and special services numbers with the following prefixes: 0800, 0808, 0844, 0845 and 0870. Once the inclusive minute allowance has been used up, calls to these numbers will be charged as calls to standard UK landlines at the prevailing tariff. Some exceptions may apply and calls to some numbers may be free of charge."

Hi there,

Where did you find the above paragraph? I couldn't find it on mine. I just ordered a phone on O2 from Carphonewarehouse planning to use it for International call via telediscount.co.uk

is the tarrif/inclusive minutes the same when you get it from CPW or from O2 online?

Yes, unless CPW say otherwise, you can assume that the tariff is the same. Sometime CPW may make a charge for itemised billing.
