I have concocted a system for my children's primary school where parents can dial in and subscribe to an "emergency broadcast" message so that they can be automatically contacted in case of a problem like the school being shut because of snow etc. I would like to provide an 0800 number service for this, so that there is no cost to the parents, but obviously I would like to get the best package possible. I have come across several packages, but would like the "most inclusive minutes" for "the best price" ;) Does anyone that has used an 0800 service in the UK have any recomendations ? Thanks Julian. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

why 0800? the parents will subscribe to the system only once you have a lot of flat fee services on-line to call land lines/mobiles in UK.

Remember that 0800's may not be free to call from mobiles, but 01/02/03 numbers might come out of their inclusive minutes, and I'd guess more people are using inclusive call packages from their telcos now too, so I'm wondering if 0800's really are the best thing these days...
