My mum has just using a dating service from the paper that charges 75p a minute to listen to replies to her advert.
She is calling from a PAYG mobile with T-mobile.

It charges 75p/minute from a BT landline. Heaven knows how much more from a PAYG mobile!

Hi,
Just wondered if there were such things as an override for premium numbers. My mum has just using a dating service from the paper that charges 75p a minute to listen to replies to her advert.

Thanks for any suggestions

Their are no gateway numbers that allow access to 0871, or 09 premium rate numbers.

Can anyone help me with this problem.
I'm a sole trader - a photographer - based in the UK. I get my landline through Talk Talk and my mobile is with Virgin. In April and September I am going to work in Greece leaving my landline unattended apart from an answer machine, I know that when I've left it like this for short periods I lose business as no-one bothers to ring back or they have just gone on to the next person in Yellow Pages. Is there anyway to get the landline calls forwarded to my mobile cheaply? (I either need cheap calls or some type of filtering to avoid getting the numerous unsolicited call centre calls wanting to sell me advertising).

Another sole trader had a similar query recently - see THIS THREAD.

However, be aware that forwarding to a UK mobile which is roaming in another country will mean that you will be charged to recieve the forwarded calls (as well as already having paid to forward them).

Check with Virgin how much they charge but, IIRC, it's 95p/minute!
