We use 1899 but access it by calling 0808 1 708 708

Theres the 1899 fee of 3pence per call, plus the NTL cost of 5 pence per call but those are the only charges for UK calls, so they will all cost 8p no matter when dialled or how long for.
The 1p across the Atlantic is brilliant ! My wife has some family in Toronto in Canada & they can talk cheaper than me calling my sister who is just 300 yards away from us here in the UK but on BT !!!

BTW... Mobiles in USA are only 1 p too !

Also......
if you use "say no to 0870" in conjunction with the 1899 you can make those expensive 0870 numbers into freefone ones !
