How much will it cost people to call me on this number?
 

Hi ,

People i just called all uk mobile networks and asked them how much it will cost my friends to call me from their pay as you go simcards :

Tmobile
O2
Orange

The rates i was given by the above networks is crazy is it correct? They all said £1.50 per minute?

The number i want to be called on is +44770002x8x7

I was told it is an isle of man simcard etc...

Please advise?

Have you looked on the web sites for the call rates?

Yeah nothing there

You need to go on their website and check their rates to call your number.
If it is too expensive, they can call you from Betamax providers for about 10 euro cent a minute, also possible with a callback from a UK mobile doubling that amount approximately.

That number should be charged the same as a call to the mobile operator Three, which would be the fm6 tariff band from landline:

However, as you're finding, the mobile operators (especialiy for payg) don't have to follow those bands. Still seem excessive and wrong though, maybe they were looking up a +77 international call?

mingelli, who is the cheapest provider , i used to use yupeephone but they have recently started doing something dodgy with a grey route and a better route , when you make a call now the calls just drop, an old con.

I use siptraffic and their service is nice, tariffs good and charged by the second

mingelli, thank you , what is sip traffic's minimum account opening balance?

Okay...here is a way around it although it will cost you a bit....go to www.localphone.com....for $3 plus $0.99 (US funds although you can get UK funding), they will provide a US number....you can then set it up to forward to your isle of man number. They charge you 25¢/minute for these calls.....but most of the UK providers, well T Mo and Orange tie in with yourcallworld and can call the US number for 3p/minute while Vodafone, after a text message joining their cheap international plan is free charges 5p/minute to call USA numbers! Sure beats £1.50/minute for them but it costs you a tad!

Matha thank you I will go there now and have a look
