I can't make 18866 calls from Sky anymore

nh101

Sorry if this has been asked already, I had a quick search but couldn't find a thread on it.

I have my calls through Sky and used to use 18866, but now when I try to use it is says I can't use it from that line anymore.

What are my options now? Is there another number I could use instead?

There are two alternate access numbers for placing calls via 18866. These are
0808 170 1701
and
020 8180 3803

Try these - the 0808 number would normally be a free call.

The rates using the alternative access numbers are dearer.

Sister company http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php offers cheaper rate to mobiles etc.

The 18866 rates are different when either of these two numbers are used. 1p + 5p connection fee is correct.

As it says at http://call18866.co.uk/mobilerates.php EG 5p connection and 1p a minute to a UK Landline.

The Freephone 0808 number is normally for use from a landline.

From your mobile you need to use the 020 access number,which is included in your inclusive minutes if you have any. If not you be charged at your suppliers normal rate to call it. Then 18866 wil charge you 5p connection and the going rate for the type of call.

Hi, when we use 0800 number the rate per minute is usually higher right? I checked their webiste but there is no mentioning of this? Is it really no surcharge on top of the pence per minute advertised?
