Does calling 0300 numbers cost or come from inclusive minutes?

If you have inclusive minutes then all numbers beginning 03 are included. That includes 0345 and 0370.

A word of caution - there are certain 03 telephone numbers that people use to circumvent international dialling.

For example, you call a (free to customer) 03 number and spend 2-4hours connected.  You then get 10/20 etc mins to a country of your choice.  This costs O2 a fortune, and if they catch you doing it then they can terminate your contract for breaching the Ts and Cs.

A few people on here have fallen foul of this.

Clever though

I've seen a few posts where people have had their accounts cancelled due to misuse of an 03 number, so it's definitely not on for long cheap calls.

This is purely a hypothetical question but I take it if they terminate your contract your not liable to see the rest of it out
