08 numbers in T mobile plans

pacman_2

Looking to upgrade as existing T mob customer. Need to have 08 numbers included. Offers from T Mob not great. Can get better deals from CPW or Buymobilphones. Question is is it the same plan as offered by T Mob- £26 600 cross net minutes inc 08 numbers. Problem is when i speak to CPW or BMP, they say they cant confirm 08 numbers included. not sure which handset to get either- S III, Sony SP are options.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

I wouldn't die in a ditch over 08 numbers, there is 0800 Buster for the "free" numbers (http://www.0800buster.co.uk/). 0800 should be carried for free by mobile operators from next year according to OFCOM.

Most 0844/0845/0870 numbers have a geographic alternative, point your mobile phone's browser to http://www.saynoto0870.com/

There are Apps that offer similar functions, eg the 0870 App for iPhone that appears to give information from the above web site in a limited format. Also some companies have dial facilities within an App. an example being the LV car insurance iPhone App with a dial prompt that calls geographic numbers.

The tmob 600 min plan for £26 does include 08 numbers. Hope this helps

Have you got a source for that?

The price guide here suggests they're not:

Giffgaff have free calls to 0800 (and 0500 and 0808) numbers. I'd be surprised if any telco included 084 and 087 numbers.

You may get better deals, but at the end of the day you will be on a network tariff, and it is this network that decides the cost you will pay.

Since the tariff will be broadly the same, where you purchase it from is immaterial!

Managed to upgrade onto £26, 600mins package.

tried T Mob upgrades. best they could od on iphone 4S was £26 pm plus handset £70

looked around . got the required plan and handset free at chitterchatter.com. I can recommend them.

Thanks for your advice all.

Thanks simax this post was very useful for me. When I renewed a few weeks ago I was told that 08 numbers were not included. I was told to either purchase a bolt on or advised there was an app available.

I have been using the wq4u iPhone app for a few weeks now. An excellent app but there are still some numbers not supported ( like DWP) I avoided calling these numbers from my mobile .

It was only after reading your post, I logged into my online account and it does clearly say includes All 08 numbers, voicemail etc.

Very grateful, thank you
