    Because people on contract don't have "credit" on their phone, they just have an allowance that they pay x amount for each month? :)

    On their home page:

    Disclaimer
    * “Free” assumes you receive inclusive minutes to UK landlines as part of your mobile phone contract. 0800Buster access numbers should be included in these free minutes, and should otherwise be charged at your provider’s normal UK landline rate. 0800Buster.co.uk accepts no liability for any costs incurred from using our service.


    Yet again a case of people NOT reading T&C

    No need to jump all over Ypaymore, the point made about being an approved rep is a fair one. If they didn't approve reps then we would end up in a situation where some numpty with nothing to do of an afternoon could come on here and start pretending to represent any company he/she wanted and in doing so start giving out advice/opinions that are incorrect or do not represent the views of the company the claim to be from.

    Oh - I guess my post broke some rules then?
    (I'm not sure what could have been contentious...)

    Not just yours, I think the comments made by the unauthorised rep were removed and a few others related to it. For some reason mine remains.
  • I have inclusive minutes on my talkmobile contratc and using 0800buster cost me 30p per minute! AVOID!!!
  • Are you aware that the number you have to input has changed...its now 03335558800p full details here

    That may be why your having problems
