Signing up for call1899/18866/18185
Sometimes users receive an email saying that capacity is currently full and to try again in six weeks when signing up for 1899, 18866 and 18185.
Should this happen, sign up again using a mobile number and once you get the email saying you are registered go back into your profile and add your landline number and all should be well.
This tip was discovered on MSE a year ago but sadly the posts that pointed out this were lost during a crash on the old forums. I would like to credit the person who discovered it but have not been able to find these old posts
As pointed out by Martin in the updated article here 1899 are now slightly cheaper than 18866 since 18866 upped the connection charge to 5p however if dialling international calls it is always wise to use the International Call Checker here.
***As from 23/10/06 the connection charge for 1899 will be 4p***
18185 is good if you find you have to dial 0845 and 0870 numbers and are unable to find an alternative number by using saynoto0870
The charges for 18185 for 0845 are 3p per minute weekdays and 1p per minute at the w/ends with a 4p connection charge. 0870 are 4p per minute weekdays and 2p per minute at the w/ends again with 4p connection charge.
Charges for dialing mobiles via 18185 are 5p per minute weekdays and 2p per minute w/ends, again with a 4p connection charge.
***The above charges are for users with a BT line, for cable users please check the websites for the company concerned as the rates are different ***
