Do "0845 / 0870" packages include calls to 0844 numbers?

Your spend a long time trying to find the cost of calls to 0844 as none of those carriers offer access to them.;)

The only non geographical numbers they offer calls to are 0845 and 0870.

Cheers. So I'd have to make 0844 calls through O2 (which cost 9.5p/min vs BT 5p/min).

If I get the line converted so that 18585 are the default routing provider when dialing calls what would happen when I need to ring an 0844 number? Would I have to dial out to get back onto O2 or could I dial the number without requiring a prefix code?

If you have a 18185 account and if O2 allow the use of the 18185 prefix, calls which started 181850843, 181850844, 181850871, 181850872 or 181850873 would fail.

I don't understand the 'get the line converted' part of your second paragraph.

Try looking for their geographic number at saynoto0870? I find charges to 0844 excessive with non BT provider (hence my reluctance to move away from BT but their recent inflation in rates are driving me mad) - and when i asked for the prices they give me numbers like UK band G6 or G9 which i am clueless what they are!!!
