    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.
