Title: Another Belgian callthrough
Post by: Graham on August 30, 2009, 12:06:47 PM
Although this may be of limited value, I have come accross a Belgian callthrough being offered on a Belgian geographic number. The access number is: +32 2 888 3 888, and further details can be found on the website:

http://www.3starsnet.com/uk.

The website states that it works from 08:00 to 19:00 hrs, but I found that the callthrough was working outside these hours. The call quality on my test calls was very good.

Thanks for the information.

Any idea of a destination list?

I tried to research this very question yesterday morning, but I was unable to find a destinations' list on their website.  So I guess it's a question of trying different ones to see what works.  Graham has already ascertained that you cannot call either Irish 818 numbers, or Spanish 902s.        ;)

I can also confirm calls to Pakistan landline and mobiles not allowed.

This number  is a normal geographic Brussels number so the destination list can not be long....

Their website claims over 200 destination, but I can only see 54 specified, some of which are multiple destinations in one country, or both fixed lines and mobiles.   ;)

Still, even 54 destinations are 54 more than are currently available on the geo service !   :o

To quote the Tesco advert: "Every little helps!"   ;D

:'(Pease. can anyone advice what the best and cheepist way is to connect to these international callthroughs..

Two ways spring to mind:-

1).  I believe that the Belgium one can be called through Mikael's standard SMS TopUp service, though you need to be aware that the minimum call charge of 3 minutes makes this uneconomic for short calls;

2).  Those with a T-Mobile SIM ( contract or pay & go ) can call Belgium for 3p / min. using either YCW or Call Happy.

If others have found alternative ways, please post them below.
