i wish they had told me this at point of sale, it means i get charged everytime i ring the bank!

The whole point of gettign Flext was so i woudlnt go above the £26.25 a month! :mad:

I don't think any major network's current calling plan includes 0845 or 0870 numbers. Caveat emptor - check if in doubt.

all my O2 contracts, and my orange Everyday 50 contract include them, dont see why Flext doesnt.

How often do you really have to ring the bank then? cant u just check your balance online?

I just wondered as i have never heard of anyone that needs to check there bank balance that much via a phone that it costs them a noticable amount......

Any how if your phone has internet access...........alhough it would be slow how about the web n walk add on for £7.50 a month? Thats what i use to check my balance

Agreed, I'm very much surprised that someone needs to check their balance three times a day, is it some buisness where you need the money to be around there and then? You must be very unusual, most people would wait until the end of the day or when their computer was around!

Ocuk has a non geo number too! :eek:

So are 0845 numbers etc, just ported to an original landline number?

Yep basically, that site saves you a bomb if you need to call 0870 numbers form a mobile.

Everyday 50 used to allow it within the minutes also - Slightly off topic but disfunktion..... never let them talk you out of that ED50

lol, no chance, we've got three ED50's on one account, Orange offered my dad £800 of credit on the account to move to different price plans!

And for some reason when it comes to upgrade time, they still give us what we want for free, got an N70 last month and i dont ever go above the £15 a month.
