    This can be done as follows:



    On a Nokia phone
    Step 1 Enter the access number
    Step 2 Press 3 times to show ' p '. (This causes dialling to pause)
    Step 3 Enter your destination number - including the full international code

    For example:
    07744 xxxxxx p 00972 XXXX XXXX


    On a Siemens or Panasonic phone
    Step 1 Enter the access number
    Step 2 Press and hold 0 to show ' + '. (This causes dialling to pause)
    Step 3 Enter your destination number - including the full international code

    For example:
    07744 xxxxxx 0 00972 XXXX XXXX

    On a Motorola or Ericsson phone
    Step 1 Enter the access number
    Step 2 Press and hold to show ' p '. (This causes dialling to pause)
    Step 3 Enter your destination number - including the full international code

    For example:
    07744 xxxxxx p 00972 XXXX XXXX
    Can someone confirm O2 new contract include 0870 or 0845 no. as I just ordered o2 contract through Links 250 free any network speacially to make free call India using 0870 no. Thanks.
  • Yes O2 tariffs do normally include calls to NGN 0844/0845/ and 0870 numbers.
  • This facility will be great for me as I have two sons abroad at the moment but I am concerned that my sons will have to pay to receive my call at the other end. I know that if I phone a mobile abroad in normal circumstances the receiver will also be charged, will this apply if I use the 077 numbers?

    Its only any good if your calling International Phone Numbers (Landlines and (Mobiles In their country of origin). Not UK Mobiles roaming abroad.

    So if your sons have International Mobiles in a destination covered by one of the suppliers, no they want pay to recieve call.Otherwise its not a good idea to use it.
  • Hi - I'm just about to go to the states, and will be staying in hotels which charge a huge amount to call the UK from their phones, and don't take incoming calls except through reception.

    Anybody know a way of using my 3 mobile over there to call home, without paying £1.50 a minute?

    Would be really grateful for any help you can give.

    I always thought that T-mobile charge for calling 07744 numbers. The article suggests that T-mobile are OK with this. Can anyone confirm that calls to 07744 come under inclusive minutes on T-mobile. Thanks.

    T-Mob started to allow calls to 07744 again a few weeks ago.;)

    No its only any good when your making calls out of your x-net minutes FROM the UK to an Intl Destination. Its no good if you are roaming outside of UK.

    Any x-network minutes you have can only be used whilst in the Uk anyway.Oitside of uk their no use and your be charged appropriate intl charges whilst roaming.
