Title: Mobile callthroughs still working.
Post by: mobaholic on July 11, 2008, 10:48:43 AM

Things have gone very quiet on the mobile callthrough front, but this is because networks have disallowed calls from their inclusive minutes, not than previous services have disappeared.        ;)

There are still services operating on 07744, 07755, 0797300 etc. - its just that we can't connect to them economically !        ???

However, I got a report from korny88 this morning ( and he would have posted this himself if he had sufficient internet access ) that he had made some tests using a Blyke SIM.

Although it wouldn't allow calls to a 07744 number, it DID connect him to a number in the 0787300 range.        :o

My information is that this range no longer belongs to the original 0787300 company - as they disconnected from the range holder (Routo) a while ago.
However there are other companies now using this number range.
Orange still allows calls to these numbers, but they charge a premium price alas.        :'(

So the Blyke SIM is the first one that I have come across that still connects there.

It may not be a big 'window of opportunity' - but its good to know that there is still one on offer anyway !        ;D
