Calls to 0870/0845 numbers included

danjaq2004

I used to be with Singlepoint when 0870/0845 numbers were included in my monthly allocation (I was with O2 on an O2 tariff). Now that Singlepoint is no more and I'm a Vodafone customer, I am charged for calls to these numbers....damn.

Can anyone tell me which network includes these calls in their monthly inclusive minutes please?

Thanks.

I think you've answered your own question

I thought O2 only offered this with Singlepoint - are you saying O2 (directly) offers these call in their minutes? I looked and could not find this mentioned on their website.

The majority of O2 Direct/Online tariffs include calls to 0800/0500/0845/0870 in your inclusive mins

Thanks for the info mate.

Calls to 0844 are also included on the majority of O2 tariffs,useful if you are using your inclusive minutes to make intl calls through alternative carriers.

I just found out that the 0845/0870 ARE included - after examiniing the bills closely - it was actually calls to 0871 numbers that cost me. What's so special about these numbers?

0871 are technically low premium rate numbers.Are you now saying Vodafone are allowing you to call 0845/0870 numbers out of your inclusive minutes.

Was planning on getting one of the o2 1000 offpeak calls + 25 xnet messages plans from dial-a-phone.

Has anybody ever purchased this contract from them, and tried calling 0844 numbers on this plan? Are they included on this plan?

Don't want to go through the hassle of buying a contract, and finding out that the calls are not inclusive.

All replies appreciated, thanks!

i use the 1000min for internet via PDA + mob fone (0845) and inter via telediscount , i also have 2 O2 anytime xnet for the same. 0844 too but also stayed away from 087X just in case.
1 last tip when using your 1000 off peak - CHECK THE TIME! i made a call at 6.58 (7pm off peak starts) for about 5 mintes and got charged for the WHOLE 5min!

Yes, they are included with my O2 contract I have with Vodafone...they even refunded me the charges for the 0871 numbers I had been charged for. If you don't ask....you don't get!

As to whether they are normally included with a direct Voda line, no idea.
