Does anyone know any numbers which you can use from a "3 contract phone" to use the inclusive minutes to call abroad??

Thanks.

    Visit https://www.pre-dial.com then click on free destination list. You will discover an O2 dial through mobile number you can use from your 3 X-Net Minutes, Evening and Weekends to about 50 overseas destinations.

    If the destinations you wish to reach are not covered look at http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php not free but by using the 3 inclusive minutes to call the 020 access number,it will be cheaper.

    please explain is this how this works
    i.e. if i wish to phone albania , it will cost me 4p connection and then 7p minute
    if i first dial 02081802828.
    and then destination no.
    from 3 phone.
    will this also be same on 3 paygo

    It would be the same on 3 Payg but you would have to add on the cost of the call to the 0208 access number.

    So it would be say 15p a minute to call 0208 number on 3 payg plus 7p a minute on 18185 =22p a minute plus the 4p 18185 connection. Cheaper then the 60p a minute 3payg charge to call Albania.

    An even cheaper way is use the Intl Dial through Gateway Numbers that start 08 shown in the http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/ as three charge 15p a minute to call 0844/0845/0870/0871 numbers.

    i thought 3 paygo was 5p a min. to landlines

    thus making a 10m call to albania might cost me
    12p per min plus 4p connection charge

    As requested by you i explained how it worked, and now your disagreeing with me :rolleyes:

    3 payg charge 15p a minute to call a uk landline.

  • Both are correct

    3 charges 15p a minute for first 3 minutes and 5p thereafter

    I've just got a 3 PAYG phone and read it last night ^_^

    One more thing, make sure the destination country is covered with 3 International Call bundle.

    This is a 15 pounds a month add-on which gives you unlimited call to land-line numbers in 23 countries with some even allowing mobile called

    Goto https://www.three.co.uk --> Shop --> PAYG --> Add-ons

    I amthinking about getting this
  • Correct URL http://www.three.co.uk/explore/howmuch/addons/threepayindex05.omp, then, click international saver


    T&C

    With Add International Saver for just £15 a month you can talk on your mobile to anyone you like, in 23 destinations, for as long as you like.*

    So get an Add International Saver. Get a coffee. Get comfy. And get dialling.

    388

    The only number you need to remember. Apart from the number you’re dialling of course.
    Because once you've got your Add International Saver, all you have to do is dial 388 before making your international call. That's all there is to it. There's not even a PIN number to forget.

    But they clearly say they charge 15p a minute to call 01/02 numbers on We pay, and 10p a minute on Three Pay.(No mention of 5p anywhere!!!)
