Title: Three iPhone Plans
Post by: andrewparker on March 10, 2013, 09:41:16 am

Hi all, I was wondering whether someone more savvy than me could answer a question regarding Three iPhone contracts.

I'm interested in moving to the 12-month Essential Internet SIM 600 at £9.90 a month, but a line in the small print is confusing me.

Inclusive minutes and texts are for standard UK mobiles and UK landlines beginning 01, 02, 03. Personal Numbers (070) and numbers beginning 08 are excluded from bundle.

Basically all I want to know is if calls to Vodafone, o2 etc. are included in the inclusive minutes?

I've just done a quick google search and basically 070 numbers are not mobile numbers. That are numbers that then connect onto other mobile/landlines and cost a fortunes to call on any network or landline

Yes they were a fad before mobiles became more popular.

They allow you to have a "follow me" number which you told to call you at the number you were at.

These are also the 'telesafe' numbers when you ring about cars via Autotrader or Pistonheads. Cost a fortune when you start talking specifics with the seller.
