Dial up access - need an 0845 provider

Only use the net occasionally at home and am with freeserve or is it now Wanadoo. Anyway use dot have an 0845 dial up number and this was on my bt friends and family for a 10% discount. The dial up number has now been changed to 0844 which bt wont allow as a friends and family number.

Can anyone suggest a decent dial up pay as you go ISP provider with an 0845 number?

    https://www.uklinux.net is one but what is the 0844 call rate charged by BT compared to the 0845 rate with 10% discount?

    0845 dial-up available here with no registration.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • I can't take the credit for this - it was mentioned somewhere else on the board but I can't find the post - there's an isp called geoisp - https://www.geoisp.co.uk - where you dial on 0208 number (020 8114 9845)...I have used it recently and because it's a geographical landline if you're with talktalk or another provider that includes free calls to uk landlines, it's free!

    In the original post there was something about 18999 or something but I can't find it - I think you can dial through one of the providers and you can call UK landlines for next to nothing...

    Anyway, hope this helps...
