I found this website
http://www.cheaptextandcalls.com/call_throughs_three/

calling UK numbers using
3510200 = 2p per min to landlines
3510500 = 5p per min to some mobiles
3511000 = 10p per min to some mobiles

use 0044 international prefix and drop the first zero

snip

So you dont have to register with them then?

Yep like any other callthrough

Just dial the number for the country, plus the full phone number?

Yes

Yes, they used to be called www.text2topup.co.uk/t2t, but have chaged
their name to www.topupsite.com

They are operated by the Opera network ( now called Oxygen8. )

I shall not comment about the ethical standards of the company.

Why not? If you know something that we don't, tell us.

Do they start spamming you with SMS related junk to the phone number you
call from?
Is it a good idea to steer clear?


I have had spam text from them to a phone i used to text them for
another service, but so far (it's only been a day) no spam to my
Three phone i only used to make a callthrough with

Next time you speak to Mikael could you ask him if he could offer
a more ethical 351 callthrough than them?

Thanks

My guess, this is only available on 3 payg phones. Trying via a 3
contract phone results in tri-tones - number unknown.

That's a surprise I would expect both types to recognise a
networks short code.
Still if you have a 3 contract you probably have inc mins anyway

It does charge as claimed on my 3pay, but although
it usually rings it doesn't seem to connect.

To use these call through nos. - only via 3 - do you have to take out
credit with the co. as a top up - or is the call cost deducted from 3
credit? I'm not sure I'd trust them yet with my debit catd no.

It's a typical Callthrough using a networks (in this case Three) short code,
you call 351 0200 etc, it should charge you at 2p per min from your
PAYG credit, easily checked by calling 444 option 1 credit remaining,
and then again after the call to hear how much it's reduced by.

Like most callthroughs it charges as soon as you make the call,
whether or not it successfully connects.
As such i doubt if i would chance using it to call UK mobiles
on it's higher 10p rate number

Is there a single 'one click' way of dialling the no. to call say
landline BT 01234 123 456, e.g.

3510200 pause 00441234123456

or maybe

3510200 pause +441234123456

Yes of course, at least on Nokia phones, many others like the S2 are
simular.

Pressing the star button 3 times produces a "P" which is a 2 second pause,
if that's not enough add as many as you need together.
e.g. 3510200pp00441234123456
and save it to a phone memory

Yes - this works for me.

Actually I have set this up up with 4 p's (the '#' held down gives a
'p')

So the no. is now:

3510200pppp00441234123456

But on the S2 this is too long for a direct entry to the contacts
directory, so I entered it as a 'speed dial' no. for '4'. Then I
created a new contact for the person in the directory linking to the
speed dial no. of 4.

AND IT WORKED. And my recent call of 30 mins only cost 60p. Last time
I did this using Three itself it cost me £6 - although when I
complained Three refunded this.

Great stuff.
