    Only used weQ4u once and i never noticed an increased bill. I never go over my minutes/internet so the bills are within a penny or 2 every month.

    Does anyone know just how much one is charged when calling an 0800/0808 number from a mobile?

    AsdaMobile (using EE) can't or won't tell me...

    But presumably the cost depends on how long you were on the call!

    Order of events: Banks lose our money -> get bailed out -> were inflating GBP to cover it -> now taxing us -> next will grab your funds direct -> things get really desperate to balance the books. What should have happened?: banks go bust and we lost our money much quicker

    Tesco mobile PAYG charge 20p a minute to 080 numbers - but if you use ASDA mobile I guess that's not much help

    They conveniently faill to tell you this and the cost of calls to over 08 numbers etc,which i believe breaches Ofcom Guidelines.

    See: https://mobile.asda.com/pages/charges-and-rates

    However if you use https://www.weq4u.co.uk or https://www.0800buster.co.uk from Asda Mobile it will cost you 8p a minute.

    Yes but only 8p a minute on the Tesco Lite Tariff.
