BT are offering me free weeekend calls to UK and Ireland but?

Question

these are only to numbers starting 01, 02 or 03. Calls to the Republic of Ireland start 003 - does this mean I will get free calls to there or is there somewhere else that starts with 03. There has to be a catch somewhere. There is no way the BT will be doing anything that will actually REDUCE the amount I pay on my bill !

Answer 1

It clearly states calls to 01, 02 and 03 are the freebies. Therefore 003 IS NOT. Easy really !  Even so, it's not often they give ANYTHING away ! ! !

Answer 2

No you will not get free calls to 003 (00 being the dial code for international calls).

01, 02 and 03 will all be UK based landlines only. 07 (mobiles and personal numbers are excluded.)

These calls are free for one hour, should you wish to continue the call after 60 minutes you will be charged or need to hang up and redial.

Hope this helps you?

Answer 3

I think the Republic of Ireland would be classed as international, so they would not be included in the BT offer. I would phone BT to double check, though.

Answer 4

give them a call and ask them so you know for sure

Answer 5

Get it anyway, its to Ireland !!!!

Answer 6

003 is an international code therefore you will pay, this is because BT have to pay Telecom Eirenn for the use of their network to complete the call so this charge is obviously passed on to you. BT own the network in Northern Ireland this is why they can state this. The free calls are free!?! If they weren't BT would not be able to advertise this, all you do is hang up at 59 minutes and redial, however if you don't you will be charged, you have been warned.

Answer 7

Only 03 numbers

Yes it is free at the weekend

If your call is longer than an hour it starts to charge you therefor you have to hang up and redial before the hour is up.
