Dialup internet access with 1899

I'm having trouble with my broadband so I'm using dialup whilst it's being sorted.

Question is, how can I get dialup internet the cheapest. Currently I'm using an ISP in Germany using 18185 and a geographical number costing me 0.5p a minute.

Are there any UK ISPs with a geographical number? as this could only cost me a flat rate of 3p.

  • It will actually cost you a flat fee of 4p now :)

    There are some about if you look for them.

    I think 1899 systems detects this somehow ???
