Welcome to the MSE forums tab4.

Which Primus package are you on?

If it's Primus Saver Option 2 - which Martin recommends in his article - you should be getting free evening and weekend calls to UK 01 & 02 numbers.

Using 18866 for your weekday daytime UK 01 & 02 calls should mean they are costing you 5p each (there's no limit on call length or any 'per minute' charge after the 5p connection charge).

However, www.call1899.co.uk is better value and safer. 1899 charge only 3p connection and there is no possibility that you will misdial and get the 118866 Directory Enquiry line (£1.50 as soon as you connect).

Is the additional expenditure on 07, 08 or 09 calls (which are the costly ones)?
