Cable Forum - View Single Post - Naughty! Naughty! Using Virgin Mobile to call 789....

.....calls are supposed to be absolutely free unless you speak to someone. If you do, it is 10p per call (According to website).
These calls are showing on bill as 08456000789 Local Toll Rate and being charged at about 50p per minute. Am I having a particularly Doh! moment and missing something blindingly obvious here?

Also - Trying to call Australia and get recorded message, presumably from Virgin, stating, "Calls to this number have been barred from your phone". This message is repeated twice and then nothing.....Which is precisely why I dialled 789 (several times) in the first place to try and sort out this 'call barred' issue.

Any advice/info appreciated.
Regards - G.
