Routing calls through different companies

cashidiot

If you enter the following prefixs regardless of who your calls are routed through the companies who prefix you use will bill you.

BT's prefix is 1280

Tiscali 1615 or 1656

Does anybody know any others???

Its useful to know some companies rates vary at different times and rout calls through them accordingly.

A top tip is with Tiscali Broadband you can also get a Free weekend call package free of charge, however this means that all of your calls are routed through Tiscali. Simply set this up then contact your current call provider and ask them to take your calls back. The actual call package stays live with Tiscali, to take advantage of their free calls at the weekend simply enter their 1615 prefix between Friday midnight and Sunday midnight.

Anybody any views or opinions.

Likewise if a calls company has suspended your account with them you can use the above prefixs to be charged through another company thus being able to make outgoing calls. Of course i dont endorse this but it is possible
