Any catch? No, not at all.

Is it free? No charge at all? Well, not really, because you’ve already paid for it. This is how it works, O2 pay monthly customers enjoy this fantastic benifits because 0870 and 0844 are charged as per standard UK Fixed line calls, which means you could use your monthly inclusive minutes to dial international calls for free. Not convince? Check out O2 official website.

All you need is to be a O2 pay monthly user, and you can use your inclusive minutes to make international calls to more than 50 countries including most of the European countries, China Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Nigeria, USA, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and many more from free!

So how does it works then?

1. Dial the number 0870 996 4749 or 0844 552 4749.
2. Next, dial your international number in full, including the country code and prefix.
3. That’s it – you’re connected!!

You can also use landlines to dial the above numbers, which will be charged at local rates. For other mobile networks, please check with your service provider before you dial the number, the rates may vary.

I have been using this service for nearly 3 years now and I’ve made loads of phone calls to my friends and family back in Malaysia and around the world. It cost me nothing to call them, apart from when my usage exceeded the monthly inclusive minutes.

Also, I am glad to announce that the service provider, dial4cheap, is sponsoring my blog. Please visit their clean and simple design website for more information.

Yeah! Not too bad after years of supporting them!
