I know this has been raised in the past, but does anyone know how much a call from UAE to a "UKnumber" 0701xxxxxxx re-directed to my UK mobile would be per minute? Probably from a mobile.

My lad has made 2 calls at 30 mins a time, so I'd be interested to know how much its cost him.

The 07 redirect is about 30p, then add UAE international call charges, I suspect about 80p to £1 per minute. Smile

Thanks Craig.

For some reason that information gives me a nice warn feeling. Laughing

I've seen 070's at 20ppm to 50ppm (where I think they're legally capped), so possibly more. And potentially more again with the whole non-BT thing. Then add the international leg, etc...

What I will say is it's great you've got an 070 that is demonstrably callable from overseas, some networks won't connect to the higher rate 070's
