the number for noodle telecom customer service on saynoto0870.com doesnt seem to be working - it was connecting yesterday but waiting over an hour - i think they have pulled the number or dont answer it if u dial on that number has anyone else got another low cost number to call them on

Try 01202 548528 or 01202 539563. These were the numbers shown on my phone when their customer service departments rang me.

I am using Noodle Oodles with O2 and it comes out of the inclusive x-net minutes for me. Noodle is actually paying me 2p per minute when I dial international number (call terminating charge).

I suggested it to one of my friends who is with O2 as well. When I dialled his noodle number, I was charged. But it never happened with my own noodle number. He is awaiting his bill to arrive if O2 charged him for dialling his own number.

Another friend who is with 3 could never dial the noodle number given to him.

Question: Will people pay extra to call my new number?

Answer: From 1st August 2007, Noodle Oodles numbers are UK mobile numbers. Ofcom will classify Noodle numbers as UK Mobile Service (for those of you that like technical information). If you are calling a Noodle number from a mobile phone and are on a calling plan, the airtime should be included in the minutes bundle you signed up to with your carrier. Noodle recommends that you check with your current service provider first to see if your carrier will apply the Noodle Oodles call to your calling plan.

How can the networks justify excluding these numbers if they are now classified as uk mobile numbers? They are not charged more than for normal numbers are they?

A lot of people have been reporting that Noodle is changing all the numbers from 077000 to 078223 with the remaining digits stay the same. I did not receive any test messages relating to this but I am able to logon using the new number with the same pass code. So, I made a test call from a landline to my mobile (unanswered) to both numbers this morning and surprisingly they both work!

As I understand, these numbers are treated by the various networks as follows:-

077000
O2 - come out of inclusive x-network minutes
Vodafone - always chargeable at up to 40p per minute
Orange - come out of inclusive x-network minutes
T-mobile/Virgin - not accessible
3 - always chargeable at international band 1, i.e. 30p per minute

078223
O2- chargeable at 40p per minute
Orange - come out of inclusive x-network minutes
3 - always chargeable at out of allowance UK mobile rate

(No report for other networks yet)

Any chance of someone at MSE emailing tmobile asking why they are blocking and ofcom has classed them as uk mobile numbers

When O2 charged me for dialling 078223 number, I talked to the O2 customer services. They noted the numbers and said that they are going to do a network check for me.

My noodle number is going to be changed from 077000 to 078223 as well. Earlier I was using the free service, but now I think I will no longer be able to do it (at least until O2 gets back to me with the report).

I got a text message from noodle saying my 077000 number has changed to 07822 number, I checked ofcom site to find out whether this is a mobile number, but 07822 number is not listed. Anyone tried to dial this new 07822 number, is it included in the 3 or orange free bundle. Anyone knows this new range mobile like number belongs to which network.

Last time i checked it was included in Orange inclusive minutes.

3 charge to call it.
