cheap calls abroad

apogee

What happened to 07744 ? It certainly doesn't work for me on vodafone. Am I inept - or just gullible ?

It only works out of your inclusive cross network minutes on Orange,O2.or Virgin Contracts or O2 Payg inclusive/bolt on anytime anywhere minutes.All other networks will charge including Voda.

What Intl Destination,s are you trying to call?

thanks utilitybroker. It would be good to be able to call Germany, Spain and Canada for even less than vodas '75p + contract minutes' rate. Any ideas?

Now I'm confused. That sounds like it is about Vodafone Passport which is a product for roaming use. When you say cheap calls abroad, do you mean to abroad or when abroad?

sorry for the lack of clarity.. I'm looking to make calls to abroad (and misunderstood Vodas 'passport' terms)

Look in the Callchecker and other places for methods like calling cards, 18185 and so on, which would use a London access number from your inclusive minutes, then that separate firm would charge you at their rates starting around 1p per minute for the cheapest countries including the ones you mention.

Probably a 18185 or 1899 account would be the easiest and least maintenance, but still has online itemised billing info. You could save the numbers in your phonebook with the London number a pause character then the destination, just as vis S-F and similar methods.

If you have Voda x-net minutes you can use them to call the
https://www.pre-dial.com (Click On Free Destination List), O2 access number
07730 666 890. This allows access to the destinations you want call (At E&W only).

There are two Orange off-peak 1000 minute contracts, one for all networks, one for Orange and landlines. Orange have included these calls in cross-networks minutes, but the numbers are from another network so not on the latter one.
