50 mins of free international calls

I had an email from MutualPoints last week advertising this company, however as I dont make international calls I thought I'd pass it on!

From the website:
1) From your mobile phone, text us the message ORANGE to the short number 80556 (standard network rate). Your first text is FREE of charge (no catch) and we will text you back with FREE international calls credit.

2) As soon as you receive your text confirmation you can start calling from your mobile phone or landline using our 0208 4971007 or 0800 6191007 access numbers. No account. 24/7 Service. Best value and quality line.
Our revolutionary mobile service allows you to call anywhere in the world from 1p/min & as an introductory offer we will also credit your mobile with up to 50 minutes FREE International call credit for the first time you text ORANGE to 80556!

I'm not sure how many minutes you get or even how legit it is but see for yourselves at http://www.storytelecom.com/orange/

They (claim?) to have been recommended by Martin in the past at http://www.storytelecom.com/ so worth a try?
Save a life. Learn emergency first aid.
Who knows what might happen tomorrow or who may need help.
Contact your local college or first aid provider to enquire about free courses in your area.


Already a first aider? Have you updated your first aid to the new 2005 guidelines? Most providers should now be training the new (and more effective) CPR protocols, see if they are offering refresher courses near you.

    Calls are not strictly FREE unless you use 0800 gateway number from landline .or you have inclusive 01/02 minutes on your mobile or landline.

    Icstis say this about 80556

    "This is what we know about the number you entered (80556).

    We can tell you that this number (known as a 'shortcode') relates to a text message providing premium rate content such as ringtones, jokes, games, tarot and chat.

    If you are receiving chargeable text messages that you want to cancel, we would recommend that you get in touch with your mobile provider and ask them for details of the company operating this shortcode. When you have this information, contact that company and request to be unsubscribed from it. We are unable to do this on your behalf.

    Alternatively, you could text the word STOP to the number you queried; however, we cannot guarantee that this will work with every shortcode."

    After the free trail, it would not make sense to use it from contracts that have 07744 or other callthrough numbers in their inclusive minutes
