    So let me get this straight. From their tariff details
    'Calls will be deducted from your bundle in the following way:

    Landlines – a 1 minute call to an international landline is deducted as a 1 minute UK call. Mobiles – a 1 minute call to an international mobile is deducted as a 2 minute UK call.'

    If that is the case then does this not solve the problem of 08xx access numbers being removed from inclusive minutes when used to call overseas?
    or is there a catch somewhere that I am missing?(Apart from there only being 60 countries accessible)

    What about the small amount of inclusive minutes you get,which are then halved for some Intl Calls.

    If you have lots of Inclusive Minutes you can use http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php
    via their geographical access number to make cheap intl calls.

    I noticed this after posting and you are right about the small number of inclusive minutes. However I think it is only halved if you call a mobile overseas.
    If they offered twice the number of minutes for the current prices then I might have gone for this.
