Jay.

I can also give these services the thumbs up having used all of them.

As Edinburghlass points out 1899 are cheapest for 01/02 calls just 3p a call.But further savings can be made at evenings and weekends by registering with Primus Saver 2 for FREE E&W calls. See :http://www.planet-talk.co.uk/SaverProducts.aspx?source=saver

I looked at Primus but it does say all calls are subject to min connection of 4p? is this correct.

It means that all calls outwith your free call time will be charged at 4p minimum connection but this does not apply to the calls made in the evenings and w/ends if you have a free package for those calls.

Many thanks, I can not see how these guys work (Primus) could you advise if you are on them please.

EG do you dial a certain number for evenings and weekends ? or do they automatically route all your calls to them at these off peak times.

Also can this be set up with Direct Debit, should they ever need to take money I am guessing.

No prefix - it's a CPS provider so calls automatically go via them at all times unless, by using a prefix, you decide not (e.g. 1280 or 1899).

DD is their preferred method of payment.

I have this morning returned to BT for line rental from onetel. The transfer will take place on 15/2. How soon should I sign up for the 1899 service.

Now - and start using it now.

Also, sign up for call18185.co.uk straight away - and start using them for your UK mobile calls and (if you can't avoid making them) peak 0870 calls.

And, on 16/2/06, call 0800 036 0094 and sign up for Primus Saver Option 2 to get free evening and weekend calls to UK 01/02 numbers too.

I just wondered if anyone was using Discountdial yet? Martin recommends it as the cheapest for landline to mobile calls (2p/min). I had a look at Discountdial's site and the number Martin gives seems to be the number for dialing the US. The UK numbers are just above it on a v. long list of access numbers for different countries. I just wondered if it was a misprint in Martin's article or am I missing something?

I think the number you should be calling is 0844 462 23 23, wait for a voice prompt and then dial the mobile number you want (?with the international code or not - not sure!)

I'd put in the links but I don't know how to - sorry!

Hi i am currently an NTL user using 1899 and the local calls have increased to 1p per minute, is there a cheaper option for me?

Thanks

If there's been a BT landline in the property before, BT should reconnect for free (£11/month line rental) - then you'd pay 3p connection and 0p/minute to UK 01/02 numbers on 1899.
