Do you think you get this message more often with 18866 or 1899 than other suppliers?

Fortunately, my phone's got a redial button - so I don't mind trying over and over again. But after a while, I give up.

Anyone know what the next cheapest phone services after 18866 and 1899 are? Thanks.

I kept receiving the same, but some time after posting such, in another thread, I tried dialing the number without 1899, and it happend to be engaged, then tried using the 0808 number instead, and that gave the message the line is busy, so you maybe getting this BT message when the call is actually busy, and not the 1899 network itself, for some strange reason!

Now you mention it - I thought that too.

So I guess that means there's no point looking for other suppliers - just keep trying. Thanks.
