  • I am on 1000 min off peak xNET with Orange and using 07744321123 to call Pakistan and that comes in my Inclusive minutes, Orange .

    i used above number & although came outa free mins the quality was absolute CRAP!! :mad:

    now use 07744 974 363 & its excellent service

    they probably all agents of SF but quality seems to vary & better to stick to the original company - it seems ;)
  • I think that it's the luck of the draw when it comes to a particular connection. If it's bad, hang up and redial...
    ...and then the window licker said to me...
  • All 07744 numbers starting 97 are either SF or one of its agents. 07744 97 4116 and 4404 work great for me.I prefer using SF then one of the other providers because they are the most upfront on their website,about what networks allow you to use them out of inclusive minutes.Some others will mislead you EG: They will still say it works from Vodafone which it does not.
  • orange im on premier 600 (and also on 3000mins free weekend) and 07744 comes outta free mins.

    but voda is another story...
    vodafone 2 months ago used to come outta free 200 mins,
    but i changed to 75 mins plus stop the clock and they started charging me.
    cheekky gits.

    ive fone 7/8 times now and everyones saying same thing
    they dont come out of mins as its an access no.

    moral of story...

    dont but stop the clock on if ur using 07744 (me thinks).

    also some providers have TERRIBLE connections.
    just redial!

    But if you read the https://www.simply-fone.com site you will see that they are upfront tell you that Voda charge.

    I have found their connections great,and the line quality good unlike some other suppliers. I use 07744 97 44O4,4116,4333 a lot and never have problems.

    You can now use it to call NGN which is handy if you are on Orange or Virgin.

    Just have a chat with my friends from Malaysia. When she look at the o2 online bill she start get charge from 29/9 and it is about 70 GBP.
    Warn any one need to check your online bill before using 07744 making international call.


    I ALWAYS check by;
    1. checking my balance.
    2. dialling the 07744 access number and letting it ''talk'' for a few seconds.
    3. hanging up and then checking my balance again.

    I know then that if I have been charged anything at all the service is not using my ''free minutes''.

    Having said that I have been getting ''free'' international calls for a year on O2.

    BUT I STILL CHECK AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THINGS WILL CHANGE.

    It only takes a few seconds to check and saves nasty shocks.

    I think this only works on payg.

    I understand that the 07744 321 000 number is only available at weekends to Pakistan for a limited period.

    is this a SF no.??

    No, it's a Yourcall no (http://www.yourcallworld.com/), they are not as informative/slightly misleading compared with SF.

    Caution here it only works on o2 payg out of your x-net anytime anywhere inclusive/bolt on minutes.Not your own network minutes.

    It does not work on Orange,Voda,T-Mob,3 payg services.It will be charged as a x-net mobile call.(Might just work out of Virgin payg cross network minute bolt ons ! But i have never tried it.)

    Its not free? either on Tesco or Easy M charged as x-net 15p a minute.

    More like very misleading.They suggests it works from T-Mob and Voda x-net minutes..Which it does not.
