    I see.

    Bu**** :mad: I can't upgrade to those price plans for several months now. No worries, i'll only be spending £3 more every month :( but that could go to a burger or something

    But i do qualify for free calls, but these only apply in the evenings and weekends, for local, national and calls to other T-Mobile (UK) phones.

    I am on the Freeetime 3000 price plan. You can google it if the link above doesn't work.

    I'm getting very confused - Help :( Basically, is it impossible for me to call that number without getting charged whilst im on this price plan?

    As i said before and i say again you need to have X-Network Calls,and you dont have them. So yes you will be charged if you call 077444 numbers ,as you have already discovered.

    Yep.

    The 07744 number i used was on the back of a International Calling card (although i could have called the free 0207 number, i just wanted to try this out). The number was ( 07744788895) 0.7.7.4.4.7.8.8.8.9.5 (had to include dots otherwise forum censors it out)

    I called for 18 seconds, i hanged up and was charged £0.077p
  • It looks like hurrah is 100% correct then and you need to move to a X-Net tariff.

    O2 works just requires different 0844/0870 numbers for weekdays and weekends, would be nice to know why...

    Thats not always the case some providers will give 24/7 access via an 0870 no depending on destination.

    And with this Xnet Tarrif, i would be able to use the 07744 number for free, GURANTEED to make calls to e.g. a Dutch mobile number?
  • hurrah care to pm me details? :)

    Thats not the number you posted originally.I suggest you remove it before mod does.
