via 0844 numbers.



It is very simple:


1) Dial 0844 452 1 452 2) At the prompt, enter the final destination you wish to call


To see if you qualify for the "Pay Monthly Free Off-peak minutes" or "Pay Monthly Free Anytime minutes" treats, O2 users can call 2211. In case you do, you'll be able to make free international calls against your inclusive cross-network minutes.


Are you in O2 pay-as-you go? No problem, you can still get 100 cross-network minutes taking the O2 HOME 100 Bolt On. Moreover, if you have been with O2 for at least 6 months, spending around =A310 per month, you may qualify for "Pay&Go Free Anytime minutes" treat.


Otherwise you can still use pennyphone's low-cost access numbers from your landline.

No you can't, because to quote the O2 pricelist, inclusive cross-network minutes apply to:

"UK mobile and standard UK landline calls only."

i.e. not 0844 numbers.

The number is owned by Callax Limited and is charged at a special rate. On O2, this will be between 25p/min and 40p/min depending on your tariff, according to O2 customer services.
