  • I tried from a landline and I did google it aswell but nothing came up. I think it said something like 'topup' as the name.
  • tried to use it today and it says to add credit, you need to send a text message to some number :(

    These numbers belong to https://www.topupcall.co.uk, if it works ,and it does NOT appear to now, you would not been charged anything if you have inclusive/free geographical minutes on your landline/mobile to call these access numbers .
    As they are just normal common or garden geographic landline numbers **.


    The 3p announcement was probaly because a 0844 number piggy backed on to one of the numbers.


    **Code: 0161 700
    Area: Manchester
    Locality: Manchester, Lancashire
    Operator: Connect Telecom UK
    Tariff Band: National (inc VAT)
    Service: Geographic

    To use it now you need to top up by premium text.You can only use it properly from a mobile.See their Faq.

    "From which phone lines can I use Topupcall?
    Topupcall is only avaiable from mobile phones. Unfortunately, you cannot use TopUpCall with your landline"

    As these are landline numbers is it effectively very cheap or free international calls from landlines too.

    e.g. can i use 18185 to get a long call to india for 4p
