Phone beep?

Lucious Sweet

Lately when I make a call on my 6230 it has started to beep once before it dials. Whats the story there? Anyone else notice this?
Someone said it was tapped! Surely not
On O2.

if you call a number that isnt on the network its prefix is associated with it gives a beep. eg calling an 086 number on meteor beeps. its so you know that you're paying the "other network" rate rather than the own network one

Thanks for that. Just noticed my phone doing that lately. Has it always been like that ?
