Primus vs 18185 vs Eucall

Hi,
I need some help with trying to decide which of these providers to go to. Essentially I'm after free landline calls to UK.

18185 seems to be head and shoulders above the rest in that there is no contract, no monthly fee and some of the calls rates seem to be cheaper as well. As far as I can see, the only real advantage of going with Primus or Eucall is that I won't need to prefix my phone number with 18185 as they are automatically routed (this isn;t a problem as I intend to save the prefix onto each number in my telephones address book).

Am I missing something? Is there another reason to pay Primus £5.99 or Eucall £3.90 per month and be tied into a contract?

Many thanks in advance.

Paul

    Yes, calls via 18185 always cost 5p at least. UK 01/02/03 calls of up to 90 minutes via Primus Saver are free evenings and weekends (and for NO monthly fee).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Note sure what issues you have had but I have always found Primus's billing accurate and easy to use.
