Hi Folks,

Does anyone know or have an 0844/0870 number that you can use to call from your O2 mobile and then onward connect to another mobile number.

A number similar to that offered by https://www.07tel.co.uk is exactly what i'm lookin for as this service has been stopped.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

    Telesavers/telestunt/telediscount have 0871 numbers that can do this. See this thread. They're charged at 10ppm from a BT landline.
    I don't know about other mobile operators but I do know that Virgin Mobile charge 15ppm to access these numbers so you can call cross-network for half price using this method on Virgin Mobile. Other mobile networks rates may vary.

    Matrix,

    Given the lack of positive offerings from other contributors on this thread and this other, I suspect we can safely say that there are no current suppliers of such good value products. The old maxim of "if it looks too good...it probably is" must surely apply.

    In this case there are no fingers to be burnt, so no harm in sticking a wet one in the air to test for likely draughts. All shout out out loud when you feel the next one, please.
