Good morning LVM: I thought I was an early riser !        :o

Thanks very much for your post.        :)

Do you happen to know if this option allows any national rate numbers to be called in the listed countries abroad ?        :-\

It would be very handy to know - in connection with various callthrough services.        ;)

Interesting post, LVM, and thank you for letting us know about it. :)

...However, I would just like to draw members' attention to the fact that daytime UK standard landline calls are quite expensive with this Post Office package at 4p per minute, plus the 6p connection fee. I would hope you are right in asserting that other indirect codes like 18185 etc., can be used with this package.

I dont make a habit of posting duff info Graham. ;D
At the present time PO Home Phone users can use indirect access codes.

If these were blocked at a later date they could of course use the 0808 Freephone Access Numbers.EG:
http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php to make peak geographical Calls just 4p connection and 1p a minute. :)

Good point. Glad to see, after checking a leaflet from the Post Office, that you are not posting 'duff info.' :) This is indeed a good deal, and thanks again for posting about it.
