Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / November 2006New International Call-through on a geographic number
Just to let you all know, we are now trialling a new call-through service on a UK geographic number - 01442 826823. This new service is intended for anyone who can call UK landlines for free with a calling package to make free international calls. The service can be used 24/7. You will be able to call the same destinations as with our O2 mobile access number 0773 066 6890. Anyone with cross-network inclusive minutes on a mobile contract should use the O2 number instead of the geographic number, as we expect the geographic number to be in huge demand! Just as a reminder, the destinations are as follows: Argentina Australia Austria Azores Belgium Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) Brazil (Sao Paulo) Canada Chile China China-mobile Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia France Germany Greece Hong Kong Hong Kong-mobile Iceland Ireland Israel Italy Korea (South) Luxembourg Malaysia Monaco Netherlands New Zealand Norway Panama City Peru (Lima) Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Russia (Moscow) Russia (St Petersburg) Singapore Singapore-mobile Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Thailand Thailand-mobile UK Freephone UK National UK Local Rate 0845 USA USA (Alaska) USA (Hawaii) USA-mobile Venezuela (Caracas) -- Mikael * http://www.pre-dial.com * International Calls from 4p per min * ·.·'´^`'·.· Great rates on national and international mobiles ·.·'´^`'·.· > Just to let you all know, we are now trialling a new call-through service on > a UK geographic number - 01442 826823.

On an 01xxx number..? I can't see how that could be charged at anything other than normal rate. I know one thing, if it allows calls to 0870 numbers it will probably spend most of its time maxed out..!

So why list NATIONAL calls for the UK all 01 and 02 calls are charged at the same rate these days Mikael or do you refer to something else when national is mentioned ? . Hello, I use simpler service from Superline to make cheap internatonal calls from my mobile. See: http://www.superline.co.uk/mobile.html David > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > David How can it be simpler? With Superline you have to pay a a charge as well as dialling an access number. WIth this service you just dial an access number and there is no further charge! >> I use simpler service from Superline to make cheap internatonal calls >> from my mobile.

Maybe he means 'simpler' in an Orange sort of way? ;-)  SignatureJ B The 01442 code is in the general area of Hemel Hempstead (http://www.ukphoneinfo.com/cgi-bin-Phones/nng?GNG=01442&Submit=Submit). It worked fine for me this morning for a call to Spain. In fact, the Spanish phone started to ring as soon as I'd finished dialling - no delay at all. >On an 01xxx number..?

I can confirm that 01442 is a genuine geographic number and it is charged at geographic number rates by all providers. > You will be able to >call the same destinations as with our O2 mobile access number 0773 066 >6890. Anyone with cross-network inclusive minutes on a mobile contract >should use the O2 number instead of the geographic number, as we expect the >geographic number to be in huge demand! Just tried this number from my mobile and got the message saying " this service is only available OFF PEAK please redial after SEVEN PM". > > You will be able to > >call the same destinations as with our O2 mobile access number 0773 066 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > " this service is only available OFF PEAK please redial after SEVEN > PM". Its definitely a geo number. Code: 01442 82 Area: Markyate Locality: Tring, Hertfordshire Operator: British Telecom Tariff Band: National (inc VAT) Service: Geographic The mobile access number only works after 7pm and all weekend. >> > You will be able to >> >call the same destinations as with our O2 mobile access number 0773 066 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >The mobile access number only works after 7pm and all weekend. It is a good service but although you are supposed to be able to call 0845 numbers you can't just tried . > >> > You will be able to > >> >call the same destinations as with our O2 mobile access number 0773 066 [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > It is a good service but although you are supposed to be able to call > 0845 numbers you can't just tried . But it does let you call 0800 numbers handy for mobile users who are normally charged to call them. Can you (or anyone else) confirm if this is allowed on the 3 network? They seem to be real sticklers for not allowing this. Anyone found out more info? Thanks very much. Yes, I tried on '3' and it's come out of my inclusive minutes (you can also use the O2 number OK on '3') > Can you (or anyone else) confirm if this is allowed on the 3 network? > They seem to be real sticklers for not allowing this.

I guess Mikael's thinking along the lines of having several Geo numbers located around the country so those with inc local rate can use them If so, one for Brighton (01273) please Mikael Steve Terry >I guess Mikael's thinking along the lines of having several Geo numbers >located around the country so those with inc local rate can use them Who nowadays has this mystical "local rate"? I, and everyone else I know now pays the same for an inland landline call regardless of whether the recipient is next door or at the other end of the country. >several Geo numbers >located around the country so those with inc local rate can use them I didn't know there were any providers left who charge less for local calls than national ones.

But you see my point. Ther *are* other tariffs, and they *do* differentiate between national and local calls. In practice, they'll be heavily discounted in most cases, but the discount is unlikely to remove that differential. Our home line is on that tariff, but we rarely if ever make calls via BT.
