Orange charge for 07744

TrickyDicky51

I have received a text from my 07744 provider advising that Orange are now charging for the use of this service. :mad: Alternative numbers were advised (084454****** and 08700*****) but these incur charges. Has anyone else had the same problem and does anyone know of an alternative way of making international calls using inclusive Orange mobile minutes?

Its O2 thats now charging from 1/7/2006 not Orange,and the numbers you quote will be included in O2 x-net minutes.

I think trickydicky was living up to his name & spamming those 0870/0844 numbers....!!

strange he didnt mention the 07744 he was using & was charging....

anyway those 087/0844 belong - i think - to SF

I am not spamming, the 07744 provider that I was using was Vital Telephone (see: http://www.vital-tel.co.uk/business_07744.asp) and they sent a text message to my phone saying that Orange would no longer allow this service to be free and advising me to use the new numbers I mentioned.

Thank you for making me aware of the simplyfone.com 07744 numbers, I did not know about these before.

They clearly dont know what they are talking about,and should be given a wide berth

They claim on their site.

"All Orange, 02, Virgin Mobile, T-Mobile and Vodafone users with inclusive free cross network minutes should be able to use the 07744 number. Please ensure you have sufficient inclusive minutes to prevent your mobile provider charging, check first to ensure you don't receive an unexpected charge."

When in fact 07744 is only free on Orange,T-Mob,and Virgin Contracts, Cross Net Minutes.
