1899 & 18866 getting crap?

smokeysmate

I rang America on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to hear that the call was free!!:cool: So I double-checked the website and found that calls to USA are free with just the 3 pence connection fee. Great deal imo means I can chat for as long as I want for the grand sum of 3p

I've never had any trouble with18866 just saved a fortune...How do they do it?

I have been using this for the last ?8 odd months and looking at it conservatively my savings have been in the region of atleast £ 300(I make a lot of calls!)
Fantastic 18866 and 1899!
How on earth do they do it though??!!

I only use 18866 for UK calls. I don't use 1899, and I don't make international calls.

No problems for UK calls in the S London/North Surrey area.

I noticed they put their weekend calls to mobiles up from 2p to 3p recently, though. Oh well, still cheaper than anything else I could use.

Except 1899 (for those mobile calls, that is).

Hi All,
just subscribed to call18866, and all seems tickety boo.

Just called Southampton and was told the call was free, then after a period of time, not sure how long, getting a beeping on the line - probably started after an hour...

Could be our cordless handset, but is it possible it's a limit on the call length?

Couldn't see anything on the website.?

Thanks in advance

Dan

Sound more like your cordless phone needs charging

Never had a beeping when using 18866 and frequently have phone calls last longer than hour!

Can anyone tell me how do you get them announcements about cost of call on. I noticed it was available when I signed up tonight but I turned that option off during signing up process as I thought it would be a nuisance but I am having 2nd thought. I cant see that option in my account details

If you go into your personal details it gives you four options, the third one gives you the option to turn on or off (presumably) the tariff message.

Hope this helps
