We have operated our geographic call-through 020 0222 0700 for quite a while
to allow people to call 0800 numbers with inclusive minutes.

They have to make enough money to pay for the wise man to frolic in that
hot tub with those lovelies.

Following on from 'saynoto0870.com' we might get 'saynoto0800' ? :-)
The domain appears to be available!!

Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

Thankfully I've got my 0800 bundle applied! I'd e-mailed Orange CS
and CC'd it to the Exec Office. Standard reply to the CS e-mail saying
they couldn't deal with it over e-mail so I thought I'd give it a shot
on the phone - the tubby wasn't quite sure but went to ask his
supervisor. Came back 2 min later and said they could apply it -
searched for a bit on the system and couldn't find it. Went back to his
super - transpired that only they can add it. Said to leave it with
them and they'd sort it. Checked my Orange a/c on the website later
that evening and it had been added ("0800 non-calling card bundle").

In fairness to Exec Office they called today and left a message on my
answer phone to check if things were sorted.

Cheers

How about "saynotoanythingnongeographic.whatever" ?

I'm old enough to remember when telephone charging was straightforward,
so straightforward that you could reasonably expect a 9-year-old to know it.

Why do we need all these bloody chargin options ? Do any other countries
have the proliferation that we have ?

This may not be a viable thing, but I wonder if anyone could set up a
similar callthrough, where the number dialled is an Orange mobile?

I take that back. We're not being charged :-) The bundle got applied
yesterday and the message has gone :-)
