Pre-dial Intl Access numbers Barred.

Orange appear to have permanently barred the Pre-dial orange access numbers at source.(Thats what the announcements says anyway!!!) This means you cant reach them from any network,or from a landline.The o2 access number still appears to be working at the moment,will check after 7pm

    Yes thats one of the downsides.As soon as the Mobile Police :mad: see large amounts of traffic going through a particular number on a regular basis, they tend to look at it more carefully,to see if they are losing revenue.As has recently happened with Simply-Fone (T-Mobile) alas.

    No. Orange have barred the numbers for life at source.So you cant ring it from mobiles or landlines.Nowt to do with T-Mob.Its Orange who were not happy with the way they were being used.

    You can still the use the o2 access no from your T-Mobile cross network minutes.(Only at evenings and weekends and to less destinations mind you.)

  • Any news with this- the pre-dial service was so good, all I have is bags of (3000) daytime mins to orange/landline and 50 mins per day (on line 2 everyday 50) for orange/landline/0845 numbers. Any way I can use my ED50 to call spain landlines? Am missing everlasting minutes.

    1.The situation regarding Pre-Dial remains as last reported by me.

    2. A new provider https://www.phonebird.co.uk offers 0845 access to Spain on
    0845 236 2473.(Note you do have to dial the number in full Intl Format.)
