For the first time ever, this over-ride number is telling me that I've exceeded my limit, whatever that refers to.  I've dialled a call lasting 50 minutes  Apart from that, I haven't used the number for anything else during the last period.  So what limit are they referring to?

    18185 is an over-ride number you can dial before dialling the number you require through a BT analogue landline.  So instead of paying 10p/minute by dialling through BT directly, it only costs 2p per minute via 18185. 

    I've never heard of a limit for 18185 before, so either this is something new, or their system is faulty.  I was wondering if anyone else was encountering the same problem?

    My advice would be contact the company and ask... seems quite a specialised service.
