Not all 08 numbers are included.

Calls to 080 numbers are completely free irrespective of whatever deal you're on.

This deal includes all 084 and 087 numbers.

So basically if I use the MSE international call checker to ring a country abroad by dialling one of the 0844 dial through access number will this call be totally free then using this virgin sim?

I have £10 sim package which gives unlimited calls to 08, I have called 0871 to use it for international call and was not charged but received a text message to call customer service or line will be suspended. After calling them I was been told calls to 0871 routing to international are not allowed on this service.If I continue they will suspend my line..

Most landline and mobile providers say that they exclude dial-through services using 084 and 087 numbers from inclusive allowances. This is because they want you to pay their own extortionate rates to dial direct.

Most providers haven't discovered all of the numbers used by these services, so it is best to make a few short test calls to see if you are charged and then keep a close eye on your bill each time you make one of those calls.

This is anti-competitive. Make sure you complain to Ofcom.

Thinking of getting this SIm for 0844 numbers. Any updates on whether they are included?

Currently trying to get a better deal with Virgin. Was told yesterday that 0844 and 0871 numbers are included in the 084 and 087 inclusive deal.

Who are you calling on those numbers?

They are banned for usage by customer services, financial services, public services and healthcare services.
