Use your Ratebuster access number as part of your free minutes

Some older mobile tariffs may include 0870 and 0844 numbers as part of your inclusive 'free' minutes. Recent tariffs offered by the mobile service providers exclude these calls from their inclusive 'free' minutes. It is best to check with your mobile service provider before making your call as Ratebuster may be more suitable for use from your landline.

3. Enter a 'pause' by doing the following, depending on the handset you own:

   Nokia handsets	Siemens / Panasonic handsets	Motorola / Sony Ericsson handsets
   A 'p' should appear after you press * three times	A '+' should appear after you press and hold 0	A 'p' should appear after you press and hold *

4. Now enter the international number in full including the 00 prefix
5. Press 'save' and this number will be saved to your phone book
