    Just make sure you don't change the number - it is only meant for IOL Free customers (not netsmart custs).

    Yep, hence why it says "At this time we are changing all our IOL Free dial up numbers".

    You'd be suprised how selective people can be when reading notices like that :) It never hurts to point out the "obvious".


    Hasn't this come up here (or Nets/Comms) before?

    Isn't the IOLFREE bit in a red font? Haven't seen the page in a while...

    It has....that notice has been up at least 2 months, there's been a thread or 2 about it.

    No, like it says, IOLFree, and you'll never use 1890 numbers for that kind of time bucket service.

    Surely it should read 1892 924 042?

    1890 is not designated for internet access.

    Calls to this number will not appear as internet access on one's phone bill.

    Yet another attempt by the BT/eircom/ComReg group to sweep the appallingly high cost of very slow internet access in Ireland under the carpet?
