    It depends entirely on what NTL charge for calls to this 0844 number. You would be best asking them this.

    Note that although when ringing the AbroadTel access number it may state that calls cost 5ppm I wouldn't go by this as only when making the call from a BT line does it cost 5ppm. As with most other things, the cost of calls from other networks may cost more.
  • mac123/bbb_uk,
    Don't ask NTL. If they get a few enquiries they might rumble that it is being used as an access number and start premium charging for it. Instead, make a short call using it and see how much you are charged for it.
    ...and then the window licker said to me...

    I think you will find that NTL will charge it at PG6 rate 5p a min.Its a relatively new code so it dont appear in there pricing list yet.But thats what they charge other similar 0844 codes.

    I have just tried dialling 0844 428 4646 also 0844 566 4747 both from Dialwise, but they then refer you to dial 0871 999 4545 charged at 10p per minute, Marios

    Tried the Abroadtel access number a couple of times to-night, but no luck, just a recorded message in German saying that the service is not currently working. And this is immediately after dialling the 0844 452 0005 number.

    Hopefully this is only a temporary fault.

    The trouble is everytime you ring and you dont get through it costs 5p a min.They must be raking it in!!!
