    Are you sure ?

    When i looked most just say inclusive minutes cover calls to UK Mobiles and 01/02/03 numbers.

    New plans from Feb only. Not including the FM plan.

    Thanks for posting this as I had been looking at their plans with a view to switching and couldn't quite believe what I was reading.

    I spent ages looking for the get out clause but if they do include 0870 etc then it's of great benefit to me.

    Maybe others will follow suit.

    Still unsure whether calls to voicemail are included as I know Orange charge for this on many of their plans.

    If you look at links it clearly shows voicemail is included.

    "
    Your inclusive minutes and texts are from the UK to UK mobile networks, voicemail, 08 services and numbers beginning 01, 02 and 03 (excluding Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man)."

    Anyone actually tested this yet? I'm a bit sceptical about the 0844/0871 aspects of it as these will cost T-mobile when the subscriber calls one.

    If so, takes me back to the days when I had an o2 account that really did include the revenue share numbers. I set up an 0871 number which milked off the excess allowances netting me 6p per minute.

    TMob used to allow you to add on calls abroad like a bolt on, £10 for 100 minutes to anther country. Do they still do this?

    As an ex-O2 iPhone customer I have recently jumped on the Galaxy S3 bandwagon with T-Mobile.

    I am on the £26 600 mins, unlimited texts and 250mb data plan.

    I can confirm that all the 0844/0871/0870/0845 numbers I have dialled so far have come out of my allowance and have they haven't charged me extra at all. I must admit, I am very shocked at this, especially considering 0871 numbers are 10p/min+...

    I usually would have never touched T-Mobile, not even with a large bargepole as I have been with O2 for 10 years. But for them to include virtually all 08.. numbers in my contract has served to be a massive benefit to me. And they don't charge me extra for going over the 250mb cap, nor do they throttle my speed (unlike O2).
