No they are not. In fact, they are not included in any of the standard Talk Plans. They are only included if you take the Talk 08 £5 add-on (250 mins allowance a month).

I tried searching to find a current call price list and I finally found was a list stating 0844 charge band but it did not state what the cost of that charge band!

As far as I can see VM do not make the location of the list very easy to find!

Can any one please tell me the url where thes call costs are?

Pretty sure they aren't even in that (its £2pm), just 0845.

Thank you for those links but I cannot see any mention of costs per minute for 0844 numbers

Look for the number prefix on the non-geographic number list. This will give you a code (eg. PG11). Open the call costs list & scroll down past the International call costs & the Fixed Fee calls & you will see "Call rates to other numbers". Look for the code you noted from the non-geo list & it will give you the cost.

Thank you, I have found it 14.94 p connection plus 10.22p per minute.

If shops used a geographic STD code it would be included in my call package,
