Where Is 18866 / 1899 ? Gone For Good?

Thanks for trying that. At least it confirms that its not just me!
Why would this problem be affecting so many different providers?This message was posted by a Mac0 -
I am honestly shocked that 1899, 18866, telestunt & cheapest calls are all down at the same time. I can smell some filthy BT plot here as this seems the only logical explanation for now. WHAT WILL ALL THE MSEs DO ? I really feel lost.


Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????0 -
I'm having the same problem too. Cant get through on either 1899, 18866 or telestunt. I hope the services get back up soon !0

Exactly what i thought - sounds dramatic - but i wouldnt be surprised if its a BT conspiracy!!!!!0 -
Oh I hope it aint gone. I only used the service twice having only recently signed up.
Tried twice tonight but I get an engaged tone, and I knwo the phone number isnt used as its my mobile I am trying to ring.

probably not a nasty plot by BT then; relief anyway
had number not recognised once then ok0 -
Sheesh !! Back to normal now !! Worrying couple of hours wondering what was going on!!Without the rain you wouldn't have the rainbows !
I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left!0 -
Wiered that all are back at exactly the same time. Could it have been a central problem with BT overriding mechanism that allows the use of all these overriding access numbers? Feeling ecstatic anyway.
