BEWARE "0800Reverse"

I don't know whether you have seen the adverts for this apparently useful service but take note that you are refered to their web page for the charges.

The charges are:

£3.48 just for being connected (from a landline or mobile)

plus an additional:

£0.50/min from a landine
£0.60/min from a mobile

Sounds like these plush adverts will pay for themselves quickly! This lot make BT look cheap, so remember to keep the phone topped up or it may be cheaper to hire a motorbike corrier to carrier your message!

    They will state this in the call though and you and the recipient can make an informed choice about accepting.. But this could be really useful for someone in an emergency with no mobile or money on them.

    The ads are aimed at youngsters - hence people like Holly Valance advertising them. Youngsters won't understand the cost, hence this could be expensive for anyone unsuspecting.



    Having said that, having Holly Valance advertising them sure makes me want to use the service! :rotfl:

    Perhaps I've just had a eureka moment - let's turn this into a money saver - tell your loved ones to use it to call you if they run out of mobile credit, refuse the call, then call them back - just as useful, but a lot cheaper!
    Certain OTT members have caused me to add this disclaimer: all advice given is free of charge & as such should be taken to be IIRC (as I don't spend hours researching all answers :eek: )!
