For anyone considering an Isle of Man numbered roaming SIM ...

The recent supply of these (3 months or so) have numbers starting in 07924 rather than the original 07624

Assumptions may need to be reviewed about which networks include the numbers in inclusive minutes

.

Can anyoe advise which (if any) UK networks allow free calls to the IOM numbers from their included minutes ?

Hi F99

I have been doing a bit of research for what its worth.
I'm on o2 400&100 plan i called the two numbers below.

07624xxxxxx is the number of ab IOM taxi firm so it seems ok

07942xxxxxx last 6 digets off top of my head, got througt to answer machine message, don't know where so not to sure about 07942xxxxxx.
Dosen't look good!

from o2 bill
08/02/07 21:44:47 07624xxxxxx Off Peak 00:00:14 0.000 F
16/02/07 15:55:41 07924xxxxxx Peak 00:00:27 0.077

Reading the T&C, it is unfortunately very clear that the "free" inbound calls option does NOT apply to PAYG customers, only contract customers.

???

edit - see below - FF99 had seen My Europe, not ... Extra

Customers who opt-in to the service and are abroad in any of the Included Countries will be able to:
[...]

Receive calls from the UK or any Included Country (excluding video calls) for 0p per minute,

Read the rest of the thread, esp #39 to #42 and #57 to #62, but don't apply any assumptions to the new numbers as they seem to be differently charged even on different O2 contracts [40p, 20p, incl]

Kindly point out where it says anything that differs from this -

Many apologies ! I was looking at My Europe, rather than My Europe Extra, which you are correct, does have free inbound calls. I wonder whether they make the terms deliberately confusing ....

I have just checked my latest online O2 billing records and found that 07924 numbers are now free of charge (from inclusive mins). Has anyone else now noticed this?

Hi, I am a newbie and apologise if I am posting this question in the wrong thread.

1. Is an international tariff used when a UK mobile abroad makes a local call to a number in the same country abroad?

2. Is an international tariff used when a UK mobile abroad makes a call to another UK mobile in the same country abroad?

For those using TMobile you may be interested in this one when roaming.

For frequent travellers the confusion of different mobile phone rates is now a thing of the past. With our WorldClass tariff you can make calls for just 55p/min in 18 countries; And from Ireland just for 25p/min (inc VAT) with no additional monthly charge.

Adding WorldClass to your account is free and available to all T-Mobile pay monthly customers.

Yes, both these cases are at roaming tariffs.
