From 1st June 2006, inclusive minutes cannot be used to call numbers with the 07744 and 07755 prefix. These calls will be charged at 25p per minute at all times.

See O2 Website

These numbers are often used for dial-throughs, so you can get 'free' international calls.

The number ranges 07744 and 07755 are allocated to Inquam Telecom (Holdings) Limited.

Strangely O2 only seem to to be going to exclude these number ranges from the inclusive minutes of their pay monthly customers.

T-Mobile and 3, as I understand it, already excludes these number ranges from the inclusive minutes of all their customers.

With Vodafone, it appears you take pot luck. You could well find that you will be charged, but if you complain by via their customer services number 191, you stand a good chance of getting your money refunded.

Orange seem the only network to still include these number ranges within their X-network allowances.

Virgin Contracts also include them in x-net inclusive minutes.

I got this email from your call today saying following:

Dear YourCall User,

Over the last few weeks we have been negotiating with O2 on our customers’ behalf to maintain the current policy for calls to 07744 numbers. Despite our efforts, O2 have this week reconfirmed their intentions to charge all pay-monthly customers 25p/min for all 07744 calls from 1st July 2006.

However, there is better news coming from discussions we have been holding with some other mobile operators. . . .

Later this week we will be in touch with specific offers to ensure you can continue to make free international calls via YourCall’s 07744 service. YourCall will be offering exclusive mobile tariff plans, which can be purchased through our call centre. Details of which tariff plans we are offering and how you can take advantage of these will be announced over the next 48 hours.

I've never heard of a service like this before, so just went and looked up yourcall. I'm on O2 PAYG, is the 07744 number treated as an o2 mobile or another network mobile?
