I have personally tried this myself following this thread....

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=551592

I'm on O2 and it definately comes out of your free inclusive minutes (providing you have Xnet minute package). No charge (unless you go over your monthly inclusive free minutes).

079 numbers are usually mobile phone numbers so any package that offers Xnet minutes, your inclusive free minutes will be used up for dialling this number.

Only thing is that, what is Dial Daily's web address? I can't seem to find it.

    Not necessarily all such numbers, or all networks, so it should be checked with a short call and look at the online billing a couple of days later

    079 is a common mobile number. Backs in the days before all this PAC business started, T-Mobile numbers used to always start off with 079 numbers so any Xnet package that doesn't offer 079 numbers as part of their inclusive free minutes can't really be Xnet network min package.
  • So its confirm that I can use 079 for Xnet? Like 0844 numbers?

    Can you just tell us what you did?
  • This should be tried today, when they start charging for non-geo numbers, not last week :)

    That really doesn't follow, and probably somewhere between 10 and 20 networks have numbers starting in 079. And this one is not T-mobile.

    I didn't say it was just T-Mobiles. What I said is that originaly this used to be a common one2one or T-Mobile number but increasinly more and more networks started to use it and now with PAC, everyone can take their number anywhere.

    I have tried it, just waiting about a day or so , so I can see online to see if I have been charged.

    Shouldn't be a problem though.
  • I have noticed all free nos starts with 07978(5)xxxxx so networks might block such nos or start charging such nos like 07744xxx and 07755xxx.
    But dont think too much about future,enjoy ur present.......:j:j:j
