Calls to Lebara / Lyke

[Freddy33]

Hi all,

My questions are about calling to Lebara / Lyke mobile number

How I can identify if this is one of those numbers and the calls inclusive to my allowances?

Is it possible to know by prefix 07xx and what if someone transferred Lebara / Lyke number to other providers

if there is any feature or third party apps which can notify me before call that the number you are calling will be charged outside of your monthly limits

O2 pay monthly user

Thank you

Chargeable 07 numbers are 070 and 076 plus these here http://www.o2.co.uk/popups/specialnumbers-popup-07
If a number is transferred to a standard UK network it becomes non chargeable, however, they are difficult numbers to port because of this so not many are ever done.

LycaMobile is in the National Numbering plan with an 074x range so can be ported into o2 and indeed uses the o2 network to provide service.

Lebara uses numbers in the Vodafone Ranges, as it uses the Vodafone network for service. ).

Both are seen as UK mobile numbers for the purpose of billing on o2.
