They are 'callthrough' numbers.

The 07744 supplier i use has already thought of this and he has put in
place an 0870 number (0870 041 5116 ) to replace it.Its included in the
O2 inclusive minutes and reaches most of the destinations the 07744
number did.Have been using it for a few days now works fine.

Always use my mobi for these numbers if I can't get a geographic to replace the 0870 number in the
first place.

I have 02, x net mins incl and have only been charged when out of minutes which happens rarely.

What company does this 0870 number apply and do you have their website
as I would like to see what their charges are for different
international destinations.
