Can I use my inclusive minutes for 0844/0845 numbers?

I'm on Orange and would like to know whether there's a way to use my inclusive minutes to ring 0844/0845 numbers?

    Not that I am aware of. They are charged extra.

    The website saynoto0870.com allows you to type in the name of the business you're trying to get hold of, or their phone number, and gives you their geographical (e.g. 01xxx) number that you can call free using your inclusive minutes. Give it a try!

    If you are an Orange everyday 50 customer (or can find someone with a tariff they dont mind transferring to you) you can use the 50 minutes a day at a cost of 50p a day to call 0845 inclusive. Calls after the minutes are use will cost you 1p a minute (these minutes are for off-peak usage only.) But to be honest with you the tariff is actually you can say been surpass now and will find other stuff expensive on it. With Bt landline now including 0845 numbers there is even less reason for having it.

    Oh there is one other way that is by using a storing system but again it is really complex and not worth the hassle.
