Override providers

Cairistiona

Does anyone know whether if I take out landline rental and calls with Orange, I'll be able to use an override provider, or do they bar them?

Only BT must to allow the use of override providers (i.e. via their 4 or 5 digit prefixes)

However, use of override providers like 1899, 18185 and 18866 is always possible via their 0808 gateway numbers.

Prices are generally slightly higher than using the prefix, but normally, still quite a saving on the line provider's rates.

Hi. Thanks. What do you mean byt "their 0808 gateway numbers"?

I know that others besides BT allow the use of overrides. I'd like to know whether Orange do.

While this is helpful, it isn't what I want to know. I want to know whether I can use override providers if I go to Orange for my landline rental and calls. Or, do they bar them?

Yes, you can use override providers, but you may have to do so using their 0808 or 020 gateway numbers.
