    Can you for instance save the access no with say a 20 sec delay followed by the +91 and mobile no. Any help would be great
    If by access number you mean 18185, then you don't need any delay and can save the number in the memory simply as 181850091...

    You can save the whole number but depends on the phone, something like:
    18185pp0091.....
    or
    18185,,0091......

    The 'p' or ','(comma) is a pause.
    I can assure you that no pause/delay is needed.
    That said, indeed it is needed if you use 020 access number from a mobile.

    18185 rates are not that competitive these days to India.

    What can I say, except thank you all, I had a feeling that it would be simple(information known=simple, information unknown=difficult) Thanks once again, although I joined back in 2004 or there abouts I think this is the first time I have used it, so hopefully all of you that answered me will be able to see this.

    Only any real good if they have inclusive minutes.Otherwise your be charged for the call to the 0208 access number as well. Unlike a call from a landline where you don't pay to call the 18185 indirect access number.

    This morning when dialling various landline numbers via 18185,
    I get message 'The number you dialled has not been recognised'


    Anyone else seeing this problem?

    Hi
    I've just deleted a similar post that I made about Virgin - they're working fine for me now, so hopefully the same will be true for you.

    Seems the problme must have been with 1899 & 18185
