what i dont know the ansa to is will 03 #s come out of inclusive minutes for existing customers??????????????

Ofcom say they will

"03 numbers are being introduced as an alternative to chargeable 08 numbers like 0870. Calls to 03 numbers will cost the same as calls to geographic numbers (starting 01 or 02), and be included as part of any inclusive call minutes or discount schemes in the same way as geographic calls."

Just a thought - when O2 stopped access to 07744 numbers I got a letter well in advance telling me that it was no longer part of my allowance. Haven't recieved such a letter yet...

This only applies to new customers who starts a new contract as from 01/05/07. Existing customers are not affected.

My god... Relax!!

fiish

We won't know for sure until O2 show their hand, which will be on 01 May. There's nothing we can do about it anyway, so let's relax and wait and see.

Or, if you're concerned about losing this benefit and need a contract anyway, why not just take one out and lock these calls into your allowance for the next 12/18 months

Further Update....

Have just heard from my source at O2 that the information relating to this change in the terms and conditions is located in one of the staff monthly magazines.

It states that new and upgrading consumer customers from 08 May 2007 will no longer be able to call 0845/0870 etc etc numbers from there inclusive monthly allowance.

This change is only applicable to NEW and UPGRADING customers on the consumer billing system at O2, so if your on one of the Business tariffs this change won't apply to you. For those of you wanting to keep 0845/0870 numbers included in your inclusive minutes then I suggest you upgrade before 08 May 2007 before the change takes place.

The O2 website I'm being told will be updated accordingly.
