    Well im still going to use my inclusive minutes but only want to find the cheapest way to call there after all the free minutes are gone.

    I have tried the number you(redux) gave me above and its working fine.

    I was also thinking of getting a free o2 sim with 100 minutes but the only problem is that i have to top up £10 at least every month whereas with the vodafone one...its a minimun of £5.

    However with the vod. sim can only be use 7.30 a.m to 7.30 p.m weekdays and weekends and I was also told that vod. has the right to stop the benefit if somebody is abusing the system.

    If anybody has got the lastest tariffs for call to 0774 on vodafone....please post it here!!

    thanks

    They would charge you the xnet rate which is 45p a min on payg I think.
    Sent you landline access numbers in a pm - 0870/0844.

    Jarlawuk - sending people your Just-Dial numbers is spam

    If you want to earn your 0.75p a minute for these numbers, then advertise them legitimately - not on this forum, and not in PMs to members.

    There are of no advantage from Vodafone anyway

    For calling from landlines to Australia, the MSE Callchecker has plenty of providers that charge less than the 7.5p per minute of Just-Dial, ie from 0.5p/min, which is less than your spam earns for you.

    Hi guys,
    i phone australia often but mainly on mobile. o2 is charging 35p per min (with international bolts on).

    Does anybody knows an access number for australia mobile starting with 0844 or 0774 for peak and off-peak time?

    i will hopefully be able to use my inclusive minutes more effectively and make some savings as well.

    Any help will be welcome.

    thanks

    From this I guess he uses o2

    The MSE Callchecker has no 0844s but 0871s starting at 6p which you could use from a landline.

    If it must be from a mobile, you could either use a calling card or Call18185 for around 10p on top of your inclusive minutes, or ...

    Or these 07744 providers advertise coverage - see if they work

    0870/0844 - I sent pm so as to not advertise on the board - I have not put my access numbers on the board ever, as far as I recall. I sent it in a pm as to provide heat with a number that would come out of his free minutes on o2. If heat uses it or not is his own choice, I have not sent him loads of pms demanding he use my number so I didn't realise I was spamming? If I have caused any offence then I apologise. As far as I can see he asked for a 0844 access number, and you recommeneded a 0871, I gave a 0844 number <shrug>

    I have seen your promotion on the board, before it was apparently deleted, so kindly do not repeat this false claim.

    Unsolicited PMs promoting your service are spam, not excused by saying you didn't want to advertise on forum (which you have done). Furthermore, if you had actually read what the OP was asking for, you would see that it was to call mobile numbers, which are impossible from 0844.

    I recommended two competing services, and am not connected with either. They would use an 07744 number, not 0871, which would come from inclusive O2 minutes.

    I suggest you discuss the rules with the Abuse team, who have been made aware of this.

    I wrongly assumed mobiles was included that was all. I apologise for any offence caused. Like I said I don't recall ever posting full numbers on the board but whatever.
