    why is it the 18185 hasn't entered the call checker arena yet? I found some calls to be cheaper using it than what is on the checker like calls to UAE at 10p/min.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Yes the 1p a minute rate to Spanish Landlines is also very good if you dont want to use 0844 type dial through access numbers.

    I think it's just a question of adding them to the automatic 'trawl' - and that's not been done yet.

    I e-mailed [email="callchecker@moneysavingexpert.com"]callchecker@moneysavingexpert.com[/email] yesterday pointing out 18185 have some good rates so it'll probably join the list this week.
    Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
    They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
    There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").

    Is any one else having problem using the 18185 service on a cable line using the access code 0808 1703 703.

    I have contacted 18185 service@18185.co.uk many times with no luck :mad: .

    Any one else having much joy with the service on a cable line?

    You're not alone - see HERE.

    BTW, the 18185 prefix works fine for me on a BT line (sorry).

  • Still not working for me either. I think I'll have to update the orchid dialler. Shame because they were only 2p/min on 0870 numbers and 1p/min for 0845 at weekends. Only 3p/min for 0845 on weekdays. 2p/min on weekdays for mobiles. That beats everyone. I think we should all have a moan at them to fix the access number.

    I am having problems accessing it using my NTL line, I have cancelled my account and just use 1899. Shame though because their 0870 and 0845 charges are cheap.

    Is this still a problem with 18185? (ie access for a cable user)
