3 international calls

Has anyone used them?
Why the need for the short code before the number? Are they trying to catch people out?

if you dont use the shortcode you will automatically pay the usual higher (think 12p or more a min some might be 1£ a min) direct international dialling rates from 3.
but dont use their officially announced shortcode provider as they have higher rates than other approved three short code providers.
three customer support themselves asked me to use www.dialacode.com who have cheaper rates than mention on three website shortcode. see shortcode rates for 3 network on their website http://www.dialacode.com/3.aspx rates as cheap as 3p a min. no need for access fees, separate billing, topup cards etc as directly billed by threebubblesmoney :hello:0 -

Bangladesh Landline 4p a minute via 3.
