The call from 18866 is not free but you get the call from the mobile at the 18866 international rate. Sorry if I cofused you.

Extract from 18866 site:-

"Can I use 18866 from my mobile or a payphone?
Unfortunately you cannot use 18866 from a payphone but mobile customers can use our dedicated 020 7001 9797 access number. Just register your mobile number!
From mobiles* dial 020 7001 9797, wait for the voiceprompt and enter the follow-on telephone number. After dialling the follow-on telephone number do NOT press the green “send” button on your mobile again otherwise the call may be carried by your mobile operator! . For example: dial 020 7001 9797 -wait for voiceprompt- 001 818 456 4567.

* 020 calls from mobiles may come out your inclusive free minutes or your mobile operator may charge separately for calls to 020 numbers depending on your operator and tariff plan; please check with your mobile operator for correct rates."

I have been using this number through Orange in the last month and the calls are free. Please note the inclusive minutes should be cross network minutes.

I have heard 3 network charge for this number and so also ? Vodaphone

hope this helps

I also use https://www.pre-dial.com for access to 0845/0800 numbers. By using 07792 316 447 (an ORANGE number) I can call 0800/0808/0845 numbers and also eventually earn points that I use to call 0870 when I really have to (fairly rare).
Between this and simply fone, that's just about every type of call covered! ;D

Well thanks Martin - once you publicise these things the mobile operators suddenly realise the termination charges and start charging the calls as personal numbers and we all lose out :-(

I phoned the simplyfone number using my vodafone xnet minutes thinking ti was free, but was charged 35p per min . When I queried it they state the xnet mins are only to standard uk mobiles and dolphin , whose number the 077... number is , is not a standard uk mobile therefore effectively tough luck.

Anyone had joy with vodafone and if so did you have to bully them into accepting that you could phone the mobile number using your xnet mins?
