Talk 08

Hi,

 

Does anyone know whether there is, or will be, an inclusive 08 number phone package with VM?

 

I used to have one and they withdrew it.

 

Cheers

      Thank you. I may get the add on Talk Extra

      Yes the Talk 08 was very good in the past, for 0871 numbers.

    There were.

    Talk 08 2 cost £2 a month & just included 0845. Talk 08 5 cost £5 a month & included all 08 numbers. However, with the OFCOM changes a while ago which complicated the use of these numbers, most companies have moved to 03 numbers which are included already in the standard talk packages. Hence demand decreased & they were removed.

      Not sure the service I want is on 03 prefix but I'll  research. There is an 0870 version but it's  a bloated iteration.

      CS couldn't even put me on Talk 200, no explanation why!

        From the document linked above, it mentions

        1 Only available with Weekend Chatter and Evenings & Weekend Chatter

        for the 'Talk Extra #' add-ons.

        Do you have a phone package other than one of the two mentioned above?
