Signing up for call1899/18866/18185

If I sign up for just dial saver and the 1899 service, will these interfere with my BT broadband connection?

Thanks

No it want . But you might want to sign up with Primus Saver 2 instead of JDS as JDS have a poor CS record.

My post here earlier today gives you the appropriate links.

Does signing up for Just Call Saver or 1899 affect the ability to use BT Broadband?

Thanks

I have Just Call Saver & 1899 + BT for rental, it does not affect my Broadband.

You seem to have duplicated your post.

Sorry in advance if this seems a dumb question, but how exactly does 18866 work, i have read links and even been on their web page. Do you just register and prefix the number you want to use then get it for a reduce cost, which is then paid to 18866 by debit card? if this is the case does it benefit when phoning mobile phones, as my monthly bill included about £10 worth of mobile costs when I am chasing my two teenage daughters up!! I would appreciate any replies, just changed to a better NTL package, gone to Talk 24 to talk unlimited, so will have to pay 3p per min for day time calls, could 18866 make these calls any cheaper?

First of all as you are with NTL the prices with 18866/1899/18185 are dearer than if you are with BT.

The cheaper one for mobiles of the three is 18185 but the rates for NTL are dearer, this is the webpage for cable users.

On all of the websites you need to look for the page where it gives the rates for cable users as you will find that most users here (me included, sorry) quote the BT rates.

Should you decide that it will be cheaper for you to use any of these companies then yes, you sign up for them and as a cable user you have to pre-dial a longer number than say 1899 and then the full number you are phoning. The call will then go through 1899 and you will be billed by them through debit or credit card monthly or so.

Any suggestions as to next step with 1899. I signed up online giving both landline and mobile numbers but have received no confirming email. I am not sure whether to go through whole process again risking that somewhere along the line I will end up with two lots of money coming off my maestro card and two sets of registrations or am I quite wrong about the possibility of that? Should I try re-registering just using a mobile number? Is it that these cheap providers are getting overloaded with customers and can not provide the customer service back up, do you think? The only way you can actually contact their customer service is by reporting a fault on a form which does not allow anything other than reporting a fault assuming you are already registered and technically able to use 1899 - there is no room for any other query!

Dial 0808 170 1899 from your registered landline and follow the voice prompts. If you are registered, you'll be able to listen to your Customer Number

Hi, I have just been reading the latest news letter and was interested in the 1899 telephone service,however, in the newsletter martin says it costs 3p for a connection to a land line OK I understand that,however, when I go to the 1899 web site it clearly states that calls to UK Fixed land lines are Free.
so I am confused

Can anyone clear this up for me please. :beer:
