Hello all, Today i found new service which is very cheap to call India from Vodafone Stop the clock.

*Anyone having vodafone Pay as you go top up  £5, call  customer service (2345 0r 191) and add stop the clock plan.

when you use this access number vodafone charge you first three minutes

1minute=20p

 3*.20p= 60p

you can talk 59 minutes for 60p this is very cheap .

I used today morning quality wise not bad.

 Note: am not sure about pay monthly

If anyone want number just mail me

There is one major flaw in this post I believe: 'Stop the Clock' has been phased out by Vodafone, and is no longer available for new connections AFAIK.  So this may be of use if you have it already on a Vodafone SIM, but not otherwise.        ;)

Thank you for your post srini, but the forum rules are that any new service has to have the name of who is providing it specified, with a URL where possible, so that it's details can be checked out.        ;)

Please will you kindly give this information if you wish your post to remain on the forum.

Thank you.

Hello mh,
As you said vodafone is not offering stop the clock openly ,one need to call the customer service to get it  i have done by calling customer service on 11/09/09.

This access number is from by daildaily.

unfortunately URL is available



srini

Thank you for this information srini.        :)

I have googled for the URL, and I believe it to be http://www.dialdaily.com        ;)

Alas, their website appears to be down now, as I cannot connect to it.        :'(

This is a pity as I should have liked to read about their service, and to see the destinations' list.        ::)

I have found posts on various forums saying that they offer 104 destinations, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, but I have no way of telling if this information is correct and current.

I know that dialdaily was blocked on O2 a long time ago, but it is a complete surprise to me that they can be called through a Vodafone SIM.  I have yet to try this myself, though srini assures me he has made a call today.

With regards to Stop the Clock, I believe that Mikael tried to get it added after the cut off date, but that he was told that it is no longer possible to do so.  This is obviously at odds with srini's claim to have added it recently.        :o

hi Mobaholic, Sirini is 100% correct ..this service is working ,infact there website is down from long time now  but the callthrough works nice.
i can confirm Sirini post ..it works nice for PAKISTAN aswell :D

Thank you for your contribution gemini5093.        :)
Do you call it from Vodafone, or have you found it to work on any other network ?        :'(

FYI srini does not have a capital letter to start with, and it does not have the extra 'i' that you have added after your 'S' !        ;)

Hi mh, i tryed one more number from daildialy its working aswell ;)




Regards
Srini

I enjoyed your 'leg pull', just as you appeared to enjoy mine.  Cheers !        :)

It is very strange indeed if the number is blocked on Voda contracts, but not on PAYG.  I should have expected it to be the other way round if there was to be any discrepancy !        :o

Does anyone know if it works on Orange, T-Mobile or '3' ?        :-\
( I should say that the chance of it working on '3' are minimal though. )        :'(

thanks MH ..after your post now i have tried it on my orange ,it connects me and i hope it should be inclusive as 0797 numbers are now on orange.
dont know about 3 as i dont have any sim..looking for the online bill now  ???

Just tried using this on 3 contract sim, and the phone immediately shows the following on the screen 'Service Reply From 3 : This Call isn't covered by your inclusive minutes. It will be charged at standard rates.'

Had to disconnect at this point to avoid the charges.

That is as I predicted Amit, but thanks for your report.

hi

Any body please give me the call thorugh no. as i am unable to open dialdaily wabsite

Admin note: I have removed your email address for your own protection.  I believe that Vodafone started charging for calls to this sevice a while ago now.

Around 2 or 3 tears ago, a number of outfits started callthrough services on number ranges that were supposed to be used for WiFi use.  I believe that dialdaily were one of these.

The whole thing took off and grew very fast, so the mobile networks were losing barrow loads of money.

O2 blocked all of these number ranges; '3' and Orange started charging, and T-Mobile and Vodafone never opened the numbers at all, as far as I knew back then.

It was no surprise that the networks reacted in these ways, as it was an abuse of the system to use the numbers for such purposes, as well as a cause of revenue strain for the networks.

I am personally not surprised that Orange and '3' still charge for using dialdaily numbers: the big surprise for me is that they are now reported to be working on Vodafone PAYG.  I have no idea how this has come about.
