Have been using this company for a bit, they offer free calls to thailand using your bundled mobile phone minutes..

It works on my O2 sim card but worth checking with your provider

Gary, calls to these numbers may NOT be included in your free minutes - check with o2 to ensure these are included in your particular tariff. These calls can be VERY expensive from a land line or mobile!

Hi Tobias have been using them for a while and they are included in the minutes i have with O2 online and CPW. Used it first myself to make sure it works, before telling anyone else.

On their website they say to make a quick call for just 30 seconds and then leave it 30 minutes and check to see if you have been charged. The other alternative is ring your provider and ask them will if you be charged?

Its just another alternative and seems to work ok for me at the moment

The reason I mention this Gary is because these numbers are not included in some o2 contract tariffs and o2 charge 75p per minute for them! It's the same with 0870 numbers, on my o2 tariff they are included but my mate who has exactly the same named tariff but the on-line edition pays 35p per minute!

Some of the other mobile networks charge premium rates too for calls to those number types - just a warning to others really to be careful, they might end up generating a huge bill believing the calls are included.

Better to be safe than sorry!

Happened to me with storia asia (think it was 0844) turned out it was not part of my T-mobile allowance, ouch

Using Telesavers on my mobile I think Orange charge me about 10p a minute...Still cheaper than calling Thailand direct.

I use Orange and have just checked the site above.

It says, call 07744 200 001 then your call is USUALLY FREE??

I think I will check with Orange first and if its free, thanks for the information

Any more news as to which providers include allow you to phone 0844... numbers using your bundled minutes.

Hi Have used the number 07744 200 001 from My O2 UK sim, O2 online and Orange sim. They are all showing up as no charge on my bills, have been told the reason for this is that the number shows up as being a mobile number, so you need to be on a x network tariff otherwise you will be charged. But ring up your mobile phone provider or do as per the website make a 30 second call then check your online bill a few days later.

Works for me, but check with your provider. With 08XX numbers they are classed as premium rate with a lot of providers, so will always cost more than 07XX mobile numbers

i spoke to o2 ; they say that this is a non-standard number and they will no longer allow bundled minutes on this number from july
