    And of course if we all keep up to date with Martins advice we willbe signed up to Primus Saver 2 to get TOTALLY FREE evening and weekend calls so only need to override on daytime calls.:T

    Also we would be using 18185 for cheaper mobile,and peak 0845/0870 calls.(If we cant find alternatives);)

    Just as well I am already using those guys/gals:rotfl:
  • have been using 18866 for 2 years
    got no update about price hike EVER...since it was 1p

    caveat emptor ! it's up to us to outsmart and not for them to help us !!

    anyway
    here's another handy one
    if you have Ireland calls, it's cheaper for them to call you
    on a 18866-owned site in ireland https://www.call13434.ie

    it's EUR 0.005 per min to call UK landlines...that's half a EURO cent
    it's EUR 0.05 per min to call UK mobiles....that's 5 EURO cent

    half a euro cent is .34 of a penny
    5 euro cent is 3.4p

    so for Ireland to call your mobile is 3.4p a min vs 15p a min from 18866
    so for Ireland to call your land line is .34p vs 2p from 18866

    it's 22% of the 18866 cost for mobs
    it's 17% of the 18866 cost for landlines

    i imagine there might be equiv deals from other global locations like Oz, SA and USA nowadays..........so email them and tell them to call you or make one quick call to them then they call you back and you can yak for hours !
