Lets you dial international numbers using your mobiles free minutes. I called Vodafone to ask if I could use my free mins by dialling this number and they said I could as its a normal mobile number - I never told them what the number does
I have now got my bill and have been charged £48 for calls to this number!!!!!!! Does someone know whats going on here?
Thanks

Its classed as a 'private' number. I'm exactly sure what it is, but its different to a standard mobile number and often isn't included in your free minutes.
However, if Vodaphone told you different its time to complain, then remember not to call that number again!

These numbers are considered as dialthrough numbers and you can only call from a very limited number of Cross Network Plans on some networks.
Here is the full list of network which provide these number in their INCLUSIVE MINUTES bundles.

Best way is to always dial a small call and check your bill before making any big call.

Hi Guys,
I did some research on this topic and found the following.
The access number from ur mobile is
****07744 97 4175****
Conditions: You must have Cross-Network Free Minutes and have a monthly-pay contract with one of the following mobile networks: O2, Orange. (Sorry, 3 and T-Mobile are not included.). When the free minutes are used up, you will be charged by your service provider at normal cross-network rates. Pay As You Go customers will be charged at normal rates.
Instructions for use
1) Phone your mobile operator to confirm that 07744 97 4175 can be used for your free, cross-network minutes. Here are the numbers you can use:
O2 - 0870 241 02 02
Orange – 150 from your mobile or 07973 100 150 from a landline
2) 07744 97 4175 from your mobile phone. On hearing a welcom message, dial your destination number. Then you will be connected to the destination. Never press "Call" button again otherwise you risk being charged for international calls by your mobile phone company!

It does also say that vodafone isn't supported!
------------------------------------
3" and Singlepoint Vodafone contracts unfortunately do not allow this number within free minutes at present, although you should again check to be sure as your contract might allow it.

Here's the one I use. I'm on O2 with 400 xnet. Been using them for months. Also this one has more destinations you can call than the 2 mentioned above

Again O2 and Orange only. It surprises me why these 2 networks allow the number as part of your xnet mins and the rest don't. Surely they know what the number is for?
