Anybody on Mobile Landline and MyEurope Extra combo from O2 UK

And as mentioned by the OP, with MyEuropeExtra it could get even more exciting.

To be honest I cannot see why there should be any problem with putting the 2 together. After all MyEurope works with a cap of 1000 mins in and out combined.

I have thought about doing this, but in my case, it will not be worth spending the GBP10 per month yet. I already have a geographic forward to a phone with a MyEurope contract. I pay per minute for the forward, but as I actually recieve more calls on the mobile number direct, I do not pay that much per month.

However for callbacks, this could indeed be an interesting option. Potentially for your 10 GBP plus the cost of the o2 contract, you could setup 1000 minutes per month of free calling to several "free" Betamax countries, from anywhere in Europe. Almost too good to be true.

I looked at this a while back and it is my understanding is that you would still be billed your standard mobile to proper rate for the 01/02 to mobile portion of the call.

Normally yes, but not with this new service by o2, which is actually quite nice. The idea is that you pay a fixed monthly cost regradless of how many minutes of calls get diverted.
