Does 18185 have a time limit for 0p pm UK calls

We use 18185 during the week (we have free weekend calls with BT).

Is there a time limit with 18185 for calls at 0p pm to UK landlines as there is with BT (60 minute call time max, then redial, for free call)?

I've looked on 18185's website but can't find an answer and don't want to just assume the call can last any length of time.

    No.

    And, although today is a Bank Holiday, the mainstream calls providers are charging at standard weekday rates - so 18185 (or one of the family) is the way to go..........................
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Ta muchly Heinz. That's good to know as calls to aged mother frequently last around an hour!

    I did check BT over Christmas and realised they were no longer doing anything special regarding calls on Bank Holidays.
