I have just found out how the cheeky fekkers intend to claw back what they will lose from the regulators demand to lower roamed call charges.... 0845 numbers...
I just got a text from O2 as my provider saying that from next month, 0845, 0844 numbers will be charged outside of my bundle at 20pence a minute We all know that the actual cost to call those numbers from a landline is 3pence a minute...
Now I dont call them that often, but others will.

It's an absolute disgrace.

Are the other mobile airtime providings offering the same providings as the O2 airtime providings when it comes to these providings?

Seriously gutted I have just upgraded... It's petty things like this that would normally cause me to consider asking for a PAC code

And breathe out

I reckon he's going to spit on them.

I haven't had Bob Carolgees hand up my *** for years Mr Spoon

Hi STi - I am moaning and also asking whether people know if their providings are doing the same. If they are then there is nothing that can be done, short of using my office number to call 0845's in future
If O2 are the only ones doing it, then I would look to migrate when my contract expires, at which point I will consider other mobile airtime providings offering free ringdings


Do you see?

Spoon

I did actually comment on a thread the other week that you were getting sensible in your old age.

I bet Bob's gutted though.

I do. I'd add though you can find the standard landline number of most companies and phone using your free mins instead of using the 0845 number.

Spoon

The most used website in my favourites for years is SAYNOTO0870.COM - Non-Geographical Alternative Telephone Numbers

Never paid above my standard 'all inclusive' calls package using this site.

Abdabz

There is much, much wisdom on this site

it's a business, and we all know the key to a good business is to con people as much as you can whilst keeping them sweet. A long teedius 'do a bit at a time' process which in the end will keep the directors in bentleys and keep gucci's on their feet!..

amen!

My company ain't in there neither is 1 of our customers

I switched from 02 to Orange, not realising that 02 were the only company to include 08 numbers in the inclusive minutes.

I was going to switch back to 02 after my contract expires, but now theres no reason to!

Spoon

Yes, phone numbers for gay bars are often remembered by those that frequent them and rarely advertised.

Been with 3 for 4 years and never had any problems, 02 and Orange are pretty poor around here
