No its not my site i just read about it on Google and thought i would pass it on,as i have done with your mobile unlocking services in the past;) .
The service is provided by https://www.pre-dial.com who i have seen mentioned on this site a number of times.I have nothing to do with them. I thought money savers might just be interested in saving some money.0 -
Where is this geographical number mentioned on their website? They give an 0871 number there.0
-
The Geo number is not mentioned on the site its mentioned in the google link in the op though. I just called it free from my inclusive evening and weekend landline minutes and spoke to spain via it for 20 minutes,it didnt cost me a penny.
Many thanks for idea.0 -
Thanks very much - the bi-weekly 40 minutes to Spain was free this morning!Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

How do you dial an 0845 number from this? I tried just entering "0845..." and it keeps saying to enter the number to call. If I dial anything else like "44 845..." or just "845..." it says good bye and hangs up on me?0

same here... "your number is not registered for service"0 -
If you go to the link in my op. Your see
(A) That it didnt work to 0845 !!!
(B) A statement from the service owner. "There was a total stampede for the service at the weekend, and more traffic
than expected was received. We have had to turn it off for a while, but will
hopefully have it back up and running within a few days. We will be taking a
look at introducing other numbers such as this in due course."
I am personally amazed that he didnt realise he would get a lot a traffic.0
