Free International Calls

[Sysman]

Had an e-mail from Tiscali Informing me of my free international calls to the following countries

Don't trust Tiscali! Here's a comment I found on the web when I was fighting the thieves.

"The 3 rules of modern life.
1: Don't get involved in the Balkans
2: Don't march on Moscow
3: Don't use Tiscali.

I broke rule 3, and it took a long time to get sorted."

For me, it's still not sorted. We ended up in court last December, I managed to get the bill reduced to relative peanuts, but Tiscali ignored the judge's ruling, so I refused to pay the peanuts, and I'm back in court again.

Seems a bit to good to be true but looking at the website and terms as long as you disconnect and re-connect every 60 mins it's free.

If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't true.

p.s this is not spam and i'm not associated with tiscali or any of it's siblings in anyway.

Thank God for that. See rule 3 above.

If they change their terms and conditions, doesn't that give you an opt out of the contract?

T Mobile do the same. Any 01 and 02 numbers are charged to my 'free' minutes, but all others are 20p per min and I think this includes 0800 numbers which is a big con as the provider is already taking the hit for those calls

I got that text as well. Just when you thought the regulators were trying to clamp down on silly costs and rising charges O2 pull another one out of the bag.

I'm all up for getting rid of mobiles and reverting back to the good old days (when i wasn't born) who will join me in my campaign Bin The Phones

Ooh I forgot mine last week went I worked away from home for a few days...

Not an experience I'd like to repeat I had to walk half a mile to find the nearest payphone and felt quite isolated back in my b&b room.

It's a drug - everyone says they don't need them until one day...

I bought an 0845 number so that my number wasn't geographic and customers wouldn't have to pay anything

Looks like I'll have to go back to 05600 (or whatever...)

^ah good ploy! Haven't felt the urge to talk to them recently but I'll bear it in mind for any future outages

Yep TalkTalk have been offering the same sort of deal for a couple of years now. So long as you have no need to talk to their customer service desk it's an excellent deal.

I have an easy solution to that - email their CEO - and you get given the number of a customer support operative in the UK - and a completely different ball game

I used to call o/s for free using my minutes on my O2 mobile. But the other day I got a text from them saying they are now going to charge 0845 and 0871 numbers at 20p per minute.

No reason to suppose that there are any hidden catches with the Tiscali offering..
