Intenational Calls on T-Mobile Flext price plan?

T-Mobile have ended free calls to 07744 on inclusive minutes but does anyone know if it is possible to call 18866cheapcalls (02070019797) on the flext price plan??

I have been with 3 for the past year and I have made hours worth of free calls to this number with my inclusive minutes.

Today I called T-Mobile customer service to enquire, tey told me that the number was not showing as an 'access number', implying that if it had they would definitely charge for calling it regardless of inclusive minutes.

So has anyone out there been using this 020700 number successfully with t-mobile???

Or is anyone using another number to make international calls??

    The 0207 access number works at moment. Also the not so well known pre-dial access numbers
    0200 222 0700/0900 allow you to call Freephone Numbers from some mobile networks including the 18866 ones.

    Depending on what Intl destination you call https://www.pre-dial.com also have a O2 mobile access number that can be used from 3 and T-Mob x-net minutes. It only works E&W to certain destinations. Click on free destination list for full details.

    please don't call up T-mob to verify if any other numbers are included, they will catch on and regard them as premium rate. If in doubt, make a short call using the relevant access number and see if you are charged for it.
    ...and then the window licker said to me...

    sound advice.... the idea with things like this is not to draw attention to it with the networks or companies in question, else they'll click and it'll disappear for everyone

    Skint, but I have a plan.... an MSE Plan!!!

    Of course its on the level its a bonafide range of T-Mobile Tariffs. ;)
    But like any mobile suppliers T-Mob are keen for you to use them to make Intl Calls,and not bypass them.Hence the reason not to mention to them any loopholes that allow you to make cheaper calls.
