  • As for o2 0844 calls are included in their inclusive x-net anytime anywhere minutes,both on contract and on payg inclusive allowance/and bolt ons.I think you can also 0844 from own network minutes allowance as well.


    re: o2 not charging for 0844 numbers. Is this try for whatever PPM the 3rd parties are charging from landline calls per this site here:
    http://niftylist.co.uk/country_19.html

    Is there likely to be a surcharge from O2.

    Also does anyone know if it is possible to check balance of remaining inclusive mins on a o2 contract account (whithout having to wait for the bill). Thanks in advance.

    Irrespective of what the 0844 tariff is 1p,2p.3p,4p,or 5 p aminute.Its included in your o2 inclusive minutes.Their is no surcharge. I cant help you on the balance checking bit!

    But if you are calling Bangladesh Mon to Friday 24/5 . You can use the SF numbers 07744 97 4116, 4404. 4333, etc etc etc out of your inclusive contract minutes.(I find the line quality tends to better normally then 0844 access).

    no surcharge, as mobilegossip says - 0844, 0845, 0870 are included, but not 0871. And 0560 seems to be as well.

    As for checking balance, other networks allow this via the automatic menu on the CS number, but not O2.

    You can sign up to view your account online though, and the unbilled usage is available there, as I've only recently discovered.

    Call CS - 100 seems to be free, rather than paying for 202 - you could ask for the minutes available, and for advice on signing up online - it turned out I had a username they had already set up for me.

    p.s. has anyone else been receiving spam texts from simplyfone? loads at a time?
  • Thanks for your quick replies mobilegossip & redux.

    redux I already have a o2 username and have logged on. Presumeably I'll be able to see what mins have been rolled forward to next month only rather than what I've used in the current month?
