07 & 01 numbers NOT included in allowances

[Anonymous]

So apparently, not all calls to numbers beginning 01 or 07 are included in O2's tariffs. Hidden in the depths of small print it states......

      Inclusive minutes cannot be used for calls made

1. to non-standard 07 numbers (all those 07 numbers that are not specifically included in your inclusive minutes);
2. to 07 and 01 numbers in Channel Islands and Isle of Man numbers

So this leads me to a question - if a customer was to dial one of these non-included numbers, would there be any warning to say the call will be chargeable? (I don't have an O2 mobile so cannot test!!)

Its more or less impossible to tell where an 07 number is geographically and unless there is an alert warning of a potential charge, this could catch a lot of people out.

Isle of Man is part of the free O2 Roaming in the EU.

Correct as it only applies when roaming anyway.

Yes, but only if you're IN the IoM and not if you're ringing there from the UK!!
