Apologies if this has been asked before - I've tried searching - but with no success.
I'm thinking of switching to 18866 but have ntl. Can you tell me if the 0808 number is free please?
I asked ntl and they didn't seem to know - but guessed it would be about 30p per minute! Is this right?
Any other problems with 18866 / ntl to be aware of?
Many thanks
Bethan

The 0808 number is free (NTL won't charge you for ringing it.)
18866 charge 0.5p/min for calls made using the 0808 number, (as well as the 1p connection fee), but those charges will all go on your 18866 bill.0 -
I'm with NTL and find 1899 a better deal as they do not "surcharge" for the 0808 access number - so you can make UK calls for a fixed connection fee of 3p and a 0p per minute charge. But if you mainly make short calls, 18866 wins. Or join both if you can be bothered.
