    Both - i'm pretty certain.
    my partner has an internet one & mines from the shops.

    & both are included in minutes' plans.

    BT Mobile should be OK & include 07744 as free calls etc... as it 's run by t-mobile who do include these 077... numbers

    go for it
  • Just spoke to really helpful man at Simply Fone who told me the following:

    BT mobile - no longer use the SF service to India at weekends but can all day weekdays

    Vodaphone- will refund any SF calls- may need to speak to more than one operator about this though as some seem a bit bolshy about it. Also he tells me that paying by cheque to voda incurs no extra charge compared to Direct debit- is that right?

    I've had a vodafone contract for about 4 years & NEVER paid by d/d only by cheqyes..
    & its never incurred any surcharge & ive free itemised bills too.

    so that really helpful man at Simply Fone (actually their staff really are amazingly pleasant & helpful) is correct in my case

    BT Mobile are connecting corporate customers to Vodafone, and I believe new residential customers will be too, so there is scope for more confusion on this subject from BT mobiles.
    Voda will also supply airtime for BT's domestic users from early next year when BT ditches T-Mobile as its mobile provider. Once that's been done, Voda will provide the whole kit and caboodle for BT's mobile operation.

    it's already 'past' ''early next year'' & they're still using t-mobile for corporate & residentisl packages & i do know rthat s-f's 07444 is OK on them.....

    so that's just about sums up this confused & confusing market

    I think there's a difference between new and existing customers; maybe some will transfer later.

    I just thought it was worth mentioning in case BT Mobile customers were getting confusingly differing responses.

    Hi To All,

    I had my Orange bill today, They have charged me £61.00 for calls to 07744 numbers from 8th till 12th, so i argued today about the charge and they will let me know 2morow. I have argued if i had known on the 8th i would not made those calls anyway and your colleagues assured me they were part of inclusive minutes, and they were last month and partly this month. So i will let you all know what happens
