0870 calls in inclusive minutes
Hi
Does anyone know who or which provider still offers this? My 12 months with Orange on an O2 matched plan has now expired and I'm now looking for a 3G service (not with 3 - I need the internet access), but also having the 0870 numbers included in the package.
Everyone seems to have moved away from this, but about 50% of my calls are to just 2 numbers (both 0870 local rate). It would be a shame to have to stay with the same deal as my average bill must be near £100 per month.
Any help would be appreciated.

Only O2 and Orange(OVP O2 Plans) offer calls to 0870 in their inclusive minutes.
0870 is not a local call.
Have u tried to find the alternative numbers to the 0870 ones you dial.

Unfortunately the number is for a service I pay for, and to aid the frequency of changes to the message, and also for security issues, it has to be with the 0870 number. It is still very much pennies per minute (there is no profit taking on that line), but it is still an 0870 number.
Are you sure that O2 does not charge for 0870 number still?
Thanks for the replys though.0 -
O2 definitely don't charge - I thought Orange did on the OVP tho?I think....0

I am sure that O2 allow calls to 0870 out of your inclusive call allowance.They will of course charge you if you exceed this.PF.0 -
o2 online tariffs include 0870 numbers in the free minutes - definitely."Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." (Mark Twain)0
