Just dial saver lite (merged)

is the url you want.

And are the rates cheaper than call18866/1899? It depends on destinations, and how you going to call (for example I myself got my own Just dial number and Everyday 50 so call that which make the cost 0p a minute.)

Having looked at the Instant plan, it appears to work as a dial through operator therefore I can't see why you can't use it with JustDialSaver Lite.

One word of caution though, I only tried one destination and found that with JustDialSaver Lite, calls to USA would cost 2ppm but via their Instant plan can cost upto around 8ppm (they use a 0870 number daytime on their Instant Plan). Therefore, between JustDialSaver Lite & their Instant Plan the chances are JustDialSaver Lite's international prices are cheaper.

If you are going to use JustDialSaver Lite in conjunction with their Instant Plan then I would recommend not dialling Instant's dial through access numbers of 0844, 0845, 0870 or 0871 using JustDialSaver Lite as they aren't the cheapest for these types of calls.

Also, I assume you have checked MSE International Call Checker here as Call1899 is pretty cheap on some international destinations.

Voicemail on 18866 as it connects you states cost is 3p per min to Mexico landlines and mobiles.
I'm not convinced with the cheaper providers, that you are not getting extra charges from BT.

I mainly use 18866, 1899 and 18185 for all my calls (using the orchid dialler to select automatically which one depending on time of day/destination etc). Over the last 6 months I have made several international calls to various destinations. Occasionally, for interest, I tried some of the 0844 access type codes - the "Simply Dial" providers - (rather than 18866, 1899 18185). Generally, I found 18866, 1899 and 18185 offered better quality and reliability although they were not necessarily the cheapest!

There have been no extra charges from BT (see comment above) or my CPS which is tele2.

This not possible, BT or another supplier can only charge you the published rate.The only thing about dial through numbers is that if the other party is engaged or unobtainable you still get charged the min call charge eg 5p.

Another new member of the 1899/18866 family https://www.topupnow.co.uk are offering free calls to South Africa from a landline at the mo. Just 5p connection charge.Also Mexico 1p a minute.5p connection

They are also offering free calls to USA just 5p connection.

There are also a number of suppliers offering calls to USA at 1p a min.

Hi,

I have recently noticed that Just Dial Saver offers free evening and weekend calls. I was already a customer but had been using 18866.com for all my calls. Once I realised the calls with Just Dial Saver were free in the evenings I tried it to make a call at around. I then checked my online account the next day and found the call had a charge associated with it.
I tried to contact Just Dial via their customer service contact email.

I have heard nothing back and it's been nearly a week now. Firstly does anyone know why I should have been charged for the evening call? Secondly, are Just Dial Saver still doing OK as I haven't heard a peep from them?

Hope someone can help.
Cheers,
