Which networks allow call forwarding/diverts to come out of inclusive minutes?

Does anyone know which networks allow call forwarding/diverts to come out of the inclusive minutes? I know T-Mobile doesn't but I'm not sure about the rest.

The forwarding/diverting mobile tariff will have sufficient UK mobile to UK mobile inclusive minutes and the destination phone will be a UK T-Mobile mobile number.

TIA

    Just to be clear, are those the ones that do charge or where they come out of inclusive minutes? Thanks for the quick reply.

    I think you need to take each tariff (not network) on its own merits, as some will allow it and others will not. I had an Orange contract that provided free calls to 0800 numbers, but a different tariff did not. YOu'll need to ask the question AND see it in writing (in the price list) so you won;t be misled.

    Thanks for all the replies. I decided to go with Orange in the end as the call diverts/forwarding comes out of inclusive minutes. I had this confirmed via Live Chat and asked about 3 times. I knew how to save the Live Chat conversation but just to have it logged in the chat window, I asked if there was a way to save the chat so I could use it to have charges reverted if I did get charged. Got the entire conversation saved so I feel I'm covered. However, the paranoid side of me will ensure I test it out with a few short phone calls before I use it fully :-D

    Just to correct, giffgaff DO NOT allow call forwarding to a t-mobile number out of inclusive talk time, it would cost 10p per minute.

    O2, Voda, Orange and 3UK allow diverts to come out of minutes.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
