    Oh yes your right how cowardly of me, dont be an idiot, the fact is that in all the other posts Ive been quoted so people can see what Ive said. I deleted the posts because I thought it was the sensible thing to do, but you have just started up again.

    Now mate lets look at the facts. (In fact i bet your female).

    The op is an experienced mse'r with countless posts under their belt, so I find it incredible that they thought that 0870 calls = 0871 calls. The op has posted on the telephone boards on numerous occasions including previous threads relating to O2 and the exact same subject of 0870/0845/0844/0800 calls.
    The op could have done a simple search on the forum to see what the situation was or read numerous articles on what 0870 0871 etc etc meant.

    yes people are meant to help here so why have you not made a constructive post to the OP mr high and mighty.

    Oh btw I will post when I feel like it and if you dont like it then tough

    Now go spell check that you cob/pen/cygnet.:rotfl:
    woooo, what a big post, hope you don't delete it, or I'l look a right idiot, lol ;)

    I'm always nice, check my other posts :)

    t'aint me bein a knowall ... & what I do know about , I'm happy to share in a pleasant & constructive manner :)

    post what you like, I'll either learn something or get a laugh :D

    anyway, stiffnuts ... mwwwa :kisses:

    hope you're a girl [evil smiley]
  • when i spoke to o2 retentions enquiring about 0870/0845 number's they said the whole company had made the decision to start charging for them.

    I am really confused.

    How much will it cost me per minute if I call O2 on the 0870 number?

    I looked for an alternative and it is an 0800 number. How much will that cost per minute?

    This is currently a debate with ICTIS or phonepayplus regarding these numbers as their certainly not clear as to their cost. All calls from landlines to these numbers should have a annoucement telling you the cost, which can be up to 10p I think, but from a mobile 30-35p. That mark up is greedy to say the least.

    At present there isn't an obligation for the mobile SP to tell you what the cost is so be carefull.
