    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I have just received my responds from Just Dial Saver.
    Not as lucky as Dustsucks - no £5 credit!! BUT free evening & weekend calls!!

    Here's the text of their e-mail-
    Thank you for your email.

    I can advise that you are not on the Just Dial Saver Lite Tariff. You are still on our old standard package that does not include free
    calls to Local and National landlines in the evenings. Any customers on this package were informed by email in May that they could apply for either of our new packages, Lite or Max, through our website https://www.justdialsaver.com. I have changed all of your registered numbers to our Lite package today. Please be assured that the problems with our website are currently being rectified and I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Should you have any further queries do not hesitate to contact me.

    All in all it would appear that they are getting things together and for the time being must be considered by any moneysaver for their free weekend & evening calls as part of a NO COST tariff!!!!
  • The Dialwise service (0844 428 4646) states calls cost 4p per minute. But dial a mobile number and it now says calls to mobiles are now 10p per minute.

    Don't waste money calling 0844 428 4646 for calls to mobiles any more - when you do you get a message telling you to dial an 0871 (10p/minute) number.

    See http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=74746
    Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
    They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
    There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").
  • Martin’s precious update introduced Dialwise as offering calls to UK mobiles at 4p/min. I certainly made use of this and routed all my mobile calls via Dialwise.
    The cost of these calls have just jumped to 10p/min today.
    Everyone should be aware of this change.
    Does anyone know of provideres charging below 10p/min to call mobiles.

    Cheers

    I think that these are not working at the moment. I have tried Dialwise 3 or 4 times today and it wont connect. So I retried AbroadTel and now that wont either. Yes I'm doing the 0044 bit! Any news that they've sussed us money savers out and suspended the service?
    Just doing my bit to try and save the planet

    Dialwise no longer offer 4p a min calls to mobiles.(Now 10p via 0871 no.)

    Abroadtel service is not working properly ,very hit and miss,i am afraid.

    back to 1899/18866 or use an 0871 access no!!!

  • Could this cheapest Call companies still qualify as cheapest when they hardly have enough capacity available. I have observed that most cheapest call assess number always have message "Due to capacity problem
    " and you end up paying the minimum charge for calling their number.

    I believe that this a reap off? I will like to know what others think of this.

    There are no problems of that sort with 1899 or 18866. Sign up for them and, if there's not enough capacity, you'll just get an engaged tone - and no charge.

    And that's only happened to me 3 times in the past year!

  • I dialled 118866 instead of 18866 and got a directory enquiries message. According to my bill, the call lasted 6 seconds and cost me £1.30! Do you think there is there some scam going on here?
