Override providers for Talktalk customers?

Mr._OCaz

Which is the best override number for talktalk customers?

Used to use ones on the callchecker tool on this site like phonecheap etc but on my bill i noticed for using some of the numbers on callchecker I was getting charged 12-15p a minute anyway?

Anyone know the best way to cut the cost of cutting mobile phone calls on talktalk?

For just 45p a month you can get Talk Talk Mobile Extra which cuts 25% off the cost of your Mobile Phone Calls.

You can also get discounts if you set up a calling circle.

At weekends you can use http://www.1899.com/mobilerates.php and get the calls down to 3p a minute plus the connection.

Are you sure you're not overlooking Talk Talk's connection charge?

With that, even a very short (less than a minute) call to a UK mobile is going to cost 12p via one of the 6p/minute 0871 gateway numbers.

Didn't that go up to 7p recently?

I think your find that was Virgin Media.

My strong advice:

DO NOT touch Talktalk at all.
They are con people.
They want you to think there cheap but infact they are not

Mr._OCaz

So they charge a 12p-15p connection fee but is it then 6p or 7p a minute say I used phone cheap or whoever is cheapest provider that day?

Talk Talk charge a 6p connection fee for all chargeable calls and, if you use one of the 6p per minute 0871 gateway providers to call a UK mobile, you'll be charged 6p per minute on top of that.

Hence, a 59 second call would cost 6p connection + 6p for the first minute (12p) a 1 minute 1 second call would cost 6p connection + 2 x 6p (18p) and so on.
