CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I HAVE POSTED ABOVE:o

If you purchase before (they change rules) eg 1/5/2007 0844/0845/0870 calls will apparently still be included in inclusive minutes until you finish your contract.If they altered the rules to not allow them whilst your contract was running, it would give you grounds to cancel your contract anyway.

Confirmation they are included at the moment can be found here. :http://www.o2.co.uk/mobilestariffs/tariffs/specialnumbers

Just spotted THIS on another forum.

Bad news for those on O2.

0845 & 0870 - 25p per minute.

I looked in the 'My account' section.........but there is no mention about this?

How do we confirm this?

That looks very reassuring!

But can we confirm this anyway? I dont want to be charged 25p/m for making international calls when it can be done for 3 or 4p!!!

As it doesnt appear to affect existing account holders,hence no mention i assume.

Or even less if you have x-net minutes depending on what destination you are calling.
See: https://www.pre-dial.com click on Free Destination list for normal o2mobile access number.(unfortunately only works E&W).This also allows you to call 0845 and 0800 but not 0844/0870 alas.

o2 users can also use the little known pre-dial geographical numbers 0200 222 0700/0900 to access Freephone Numbers.
