A while back there were some ads on geekzone advertising a free toll call service by dialing into an 028 number. Does anyone know their website? Or if they are even still around?

I don't know about the toll service, but I think you'll find 028 gets charged as a mobile call from most everywhere else.

Yes i know 028 is charged as a mobile, but the idea of this service was that if you called into the 028 number, you could then make free toll calls. They would get their revenue from the interconnection fees.

Just wondering if they are still around as they sounded a bit dodgy at the time...
