fab, thank you!

Excellent Find Dan.  Thanks for sharing  :)

Good discovery Dan!

Thanks, Dan, you beat me in posting this. I tested this and found that the callthru worked for mobile number in India but not for landline number.

I can confirm that this call through worked for both mobile and land lines to India.

gudman

Yes this service works for both mobile and landline. Quality also seems good.

Thank you Dan ! Your post is like an 'oasis in a desert' as currently there is a drought of access no's to call abroad. well done ! :D :D

Hi Dan
Any chance to add Pakistan mobiles and landline in this service?

I don't think so mate as Pakistan is a fairly expensive destination to call and the termination fee from 03 number cannot cover it.

Agreed. If they could, they would (I don't run this) there's good reason it's not listed I'm afraid.

Hi Cutebbobby08,

I_luv_free_calls is right about his answer to your question.

And besides that, you need to understand that the service you enquired about is provided by TelNG, not Dan.

Dan only discovered the service and was kind enough to share the information on this forum.

Hi Dan,

Is this service inclusive on EE Mobile network??
Nice find.

Regards,
Ruz

Ruz, As a general rule, it's more about if you can call the access number & networks barring/blocking them; 03 numbers must always be included as part of free minutes allowances under Ofcom rules.

So the short answer is yes, if you can connect to it.

If you need reassurance in black & white see: http://ask.ofcom.org.uk/help/telephone/03number

I tried calling from orange which is a part of EE group and it came of my inclusive minutes. I presume it should be inclusive on EE as well !

Asterix

May be this is supporting calls to some cities only, but not all. Even today the land line number did not work for me.

Thanx everyone for the reply... But I'm still hoping they add Pakistan soon.

Hi Dan,

I tried calling from EE it came of my inclusive minutes, the number is connecting to India mobile and landline both.

But since morning today this service is not working, after dialling the access number we don't hear any announcement the line is silent. Anybody else noticed the same problem.

Regards,
Ruz.

Sorry, folks, that was me.  I've fixed things now.

--Dave

Another thing.  We've launched http://www.uk03.co.uk - this allows you to map up to 10x03 numbers
to international numbers which you call frequently, thus making dialling them distinctly less of a chore.

There's also some 0871/2s.  Those who have inclusive minutes to these ranges can get cashback by
making international calls through them.

--Dave

Hi Dave,
Is the cashback on the 0871/2 number higher on this service as compared to callcashback?

Nope; it's the same.

--Dave

All TelNG & Precaller 03xx numbers now seem be to barred on Three, as well as PD 03 Top-up though not sure about latter if this happened the same time/new development or happened earlier on, but sure other users will elaborate their experience in due course in appropriate threads.
Thanks to Moon for spotting this earlier this afternoon.

They were barred as of Monday morning.  We have attempted to reach a commercial solution with Three and failed, so we referred this dispute to Ofcom yesterday.

--Dave

Thanks for update Dave, interesting... will amend OP.

Hi dave this service is not working now can you please look into this? it ask for destinatination number and then disconnectes

Yes - sorry about that, but it's out of our control.

I'd suggest looking at our 087 callthrough instead - both EE and Vodafone will sell you bundles of minutes to 087x at 1p/minute; you can use them for callthrough and get cashback (which will more than pay for the cost of the bundle, calling most common destinations) if you sign up at http://www.uk03.co.uk

There's more information (and a shiny new website - well, shinier than the old one) at http://uk03.uk (http://uk03.uk)

Great that this is working again.  Another of Dave's ingenuity

Even though it is working again , I realised that we are getting charged for the calls we make using 0330 numbers . My preexisting cash back credit had been deducted at approx 1p/min of call to India. Is this happening at your end too ??

He is good but IMHO you're over estimating his capabilities.

dlR

You would get charged if you've no inclusive minutes left..

dlR

No ! I didn't mean to say that network provider is charging me. Infact i have unlimited mins.

What i actually meant is that previously Dave offered 03300xxxxxx as free calls . However i realise from my (callcashback a/c) dashboard that Dave is deducting approx 1p for every min of international call. It is getting decucted from the credit (cashback) recieved from calling 0871/2 access numbers.

Sorry,  I didn't fully understand you being charged..

Regarding deduction I somewhat understand a need for that but don't praise Dave for implementing yet another fantastic amendment to his services without a notification.
