UK minutes

[Marie_2]

Hi, I purchased the add-on for 1000 UK LD minutes; but when I tried calling several hotels in the UK, I only got a message from Public Mobile that either the call could not be completed or I have used all my available minutes. Does anyone have any experience with this?  Thanks.

I mustn't have been dialing the number correctly, as I just made a call to the UK and it went through (without the added international minutes). Thank you

 NO, you don't need International LD add-on to call UK.  You are good if you have the UK calling

how you make the calls?

calling UK, drop the 0 before the area code
For example, calling London number 020 8765 4321 should be just call 01144 20 8765 4321 (you can also try +44 20 8765 4321)
Calling Manchester number 0161 765 4321 should be just 01144 161 765 4321 (you can also try +44 161 7654321

**Calls made to numbers starting with the following UK codes are not included in UK calling from Canada and will not be completed when dialled: 4470, 44870-44879, 44843-44845.

No; I didn't realize I needed both. If that's the case I'll try that.

Did you check your account to make sure the INTL minutes were added?
