    No. 0844 is chargeable on all contracts from last week. Only those with old 02 contracts can use 0844. 0845, 0870 as part of their free minutes.

    There are many 07744 numbers connecting to many international destinations. Just google search it. Orange and Virgin are the only networks allowing calls to 07744 numbers to come off the inclusive cross network minutes.(T-mobile allows upto this monthend and then starts charging from 1.6.07). Hope this helps.

    Agree use 07744 or 07755 numbers from orange.

    As t-mobile are the actual network for virgin will virgin also start charging for these calls from 1.6.07? i think they will...

    Apparently Virgin used to allow calls to 07744 numbers even before T-mobile agreed 07744 calls as part of inclusive minutes(sometime about last year). So Virgin may still continue to allow calls to 07744 numbers as part of inclusive cross network minutes, fingers crossed.
