    The Dialaround rate looks like a very keen promotion offer that may not be sustainable longer term

    There are other companies with similar operations to S-F - this one has coverage to French mobiles on weekdays. I haven't tried that, but they do connect to a German mobile as advertised

    I assume you mean Dialaround.At least it can be used 24/7.365.How long it will it last i dont know,neither do you, unless you work for Finerea :D

    Then there is https://www.PhoneBird.co.uk 0844 896 2473.

    The Your call world site is a misleading one it tells people they can use the service from Voda and T Mob which they cant.

    Inquam Telecom. The numbers are normally used as dial through numbers for cheap intl calls.

    As you are no doubt aware, calls to 0800, 0844, 0845 and 0870 are included in O2 inclusive minutes (but not 0871)
    I think....

    I did, thanks. After that Spain thread where someone made that mistake in reverse, I seem to have confused myself.

    If I did work for Finarea, I wouldn't be suggesting an alternative :D

    Quite a few of those 07744 companies are a bit slow to update their website details, but Simply-Fone is always good.

    I am trying to help you. :confused:

    You said that you were on O2 and i assume you are on a Contract because you are dialling X-network 07744 numbers.

    If you are on a O2 contract calls to 0844/0845/0870/0500/0800/0808 ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR INCLUSIVE MINUTES.(But not calls to 0871)

    Thats why i mentioned the 0844 dialaround number. ;)

    Also calls to these numbers are included on inclusive minutes on Payg.

    Suggest you go back to O2 and speak to someone who knows what they are talking about.Or make a short test call and see if you are charged for it.
