Cost of calling 0906 number from mobile?

octave · 19-05-2008, 18:48

I am yet to call Tech support 0906 number to report fault. Since I don't have landline, it has to be from one of my PAYG mobile sims. I guess I may make use of the free ones I have at the moment (Orange, T-mobile, Vodafone and Virgin).

Does anyone know the exact cost per minute of calling this VM Tech support number 0906 212 1111 from different mobile networks? I called some network operators who could only give a (wide) range of premium-rate call costs. Would I be right to assume that calling this from Virgin Mobile would be the cheapest?

Since we live in a shared house, this cost will be shared and it's prudent to give details of approximate costs to everyone beforehand I think.

Many thanks.

I thought VM had dropped the premium tech support line :/

Edit

Oh, not yet it seems

I called the 0906 number from a vodafone PAYG phone once. It charged me Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1.89/minute. Never again. Next time I need to call in, I'll just call disconnections, and go with BT instead.

Many thanks everyone. I found on the web that Orange PAYG to be among the cheapest at 50p/min if that helps.

Could anyone suggest the best time to call them to avoid long waiting time and ensure someone is there to take the call? Do they offer 24/7 service?

There is no waiting time, it's a premium rate number.

I would have thought, the company would at least done free calls from it's own registered Mobiles. But looks like no, hope i am wrong. Penalises VM ADSL users no end then.

I can understand charging from other companies networks, but even so, some of those call charges are a ripoff.
