18866 (again) & ntl

A question about : 18866 (again) & ntl

Apologies if this has been asked before - I've tried searching - but with no success.

I'm thinking of switching to 18866 but have ntl. Can you tell me if the 0808 number is free please?

I asked ntl and they didn't seem to know - but guessed it would be about 30p per minute! Is this right?

Any other problems with 18866 / ntl to be aware of?

Many thanks

• landline UK calls are 0.5p/min on top of the 1p connection charge.so no the 0808 number isn't free.wot did u mean when u mentioned 30p a min? there are loads in results if u do the 18866 search.
• The 0808 number is free (NTL won't charge you for ringing it.)
  18866 charge 0.5p/min for calls made using the 0808 number, (as well as the 1p connection fee), but those charges will all go on your 18866 bill.
• I'm with NTL and find 1899 a better deal as they do not "surcharge" for the 0808 access number - so you can make UK calls for a fixed connection fee of 3p and a 0p per minute charge. But if you mainly make short calls, 18866 wins. Or join both if you can be bothered.
