    This should be tried today, when they start charging for non-geo numbers, not last week :)
    I agree. O2 began charging for all ngn calls from the 28th of sept onwards so even if the call came out of inclusive minutes last week it does not mean that it will from yesterday onwards.
  • Hi

    I work for o2 and it does work.

    Although, I really don't get this forum, on one hand, theres people moaning about their retention offers..
    On another hand, people moan that they can't get international calls free...

    The 0844 and 0855 07744 and 07755 were costing o2 (I don't know about other networks) £5mil a WEEK - someones got to pay for that out of their retention deals??

    I think on 3 this number will be chargeable but on O2 and Orange, it will come out of your inclusive free minutes.

    Hi Stacey - does it mean dialing 07978 comes out of monthly allowance with O2?

    Also Stacey do you have an idea of how many customers you have lost since O2 began to withdraw 08xx numbers from inclusive minutes earlier this year?
