02 Now Charging for 08 numbers!!!

mobilejunkie

My personal record was 10, but the first expired last week. Oh, yes; one more was never connected and another cancelled after about three months (both someone else's mistakes which I'm quite happy with). So maybe you could have said 11. Anyway, aiming for one more next week and another in August - possibly topped up with a third before my next one expires. That also excludes about 12 others I'm looking after for friends and family. Not lost a cashback yet. All my deals have been free, but some of theirs actually cost them one month's line rental in a year. I would never do that, but they were happy.

As a footnote; most of my phones are around the best phones available, I have 08 numbers in a bundle, free internet off-peak browsing (on a fantastic phone), all my phones came unlocked, I have 2 stop the clocks and passports, thousands of minutes and texts - and only paid for my line rental for nearly a year since apart from one 0871 call, one silly error when I used my landline instead of my mobile for about 20p and a fax (0871 and fax couldn't be avoided) and freephone numbers I don't call out on my landline. Call it a great money-saving hobby and a small challenge.

So what is your advice on getting free 08 numbers in a bundle now that o2 have stopped including them.

Oh nooooo! They do!! I just changed from my Online 100 at £25pm for the Online 20 at £20pm as it was 200mins more and £5 cheaper but ive already spent £2 on 08 numbers cause I didnt know. Glad you mentioned it!!

As opposed to taking out an expensive tarrif on the hope you will get cashback, which will never come... :S

Never paid a single penny on over 20 contracts over 8 years. Still going strong. All cashbacks received so far (touch wood).

There is none. Saynoto0870 is the only solution if the company's listed there

mobilejunkie

It isn't; I suggest you search through all the threads (otherwise would repeat all the answers every other day!).

I have and I cant find any that tell me how to get an inclusive bundle that included 08 numbers from either landline or mobile. Would appreciate any assistance you can give mobilejunkie

mobilejunkie

There are plenty of threads on here about it!

Move to CPW O2. They provide it.
