include the country code = more expensive call???

Hi,

Can somebody settle an argument?

I've included the country codes for all the mobile and landline numbers on my mobile - including here in Ireland.

I've done this so as to avoid needing to change them when I go abroad.

I've got a girl here trying to convince me that dialling an Irish number (when I am in Ireland) with the country code included is more expensive than just using the basic 08? or area code.

I say not.

Who is right?

Regards

You are. Ring O2 with this question and they'll give you a specific answer.

i had this before with o2 (about 4 years ago at this stage) and at the time they were charging more if you called +4428 for northern landlines than if you called 028! i can only hope they've fixed it by now

The regulator actually allowed this, which is a disgrace.
