I don't think 07624 calls are from inclusive minutes on either T-
mobile or Vodafone, the latter specifically listing it amongst numbers
it excepts and charges for; maybe your relatives should check their
bills.
At the moment, Orange and O2 seem to have these numbers from inclusive
minutes, though not on all Orange contracts will count call divert
like that.
As for 07924, O2 have charged 40p, 30p 20p, inclusive to different
customers, the inclusive one being on a CPW/O2 contract. They don't
know what the number is, and I'm not telling them. I've had a refund
but don't expect to ring up every month and have it happen again. For
other networks I don't know what the tariffs are, but suspect that
some will count it as inclusive for maybe a provisional period
There are some more creative call forwarding options available, using
VoIP accounts with cheap tariffs for UK mobiles (such as Betamax, eg
Voipcheap or the new Justvoip). You'd need a separate DID to point at
this account though, as they no longer offer incoming numbers.
It's also possible to use separate callback with either the mobile or
a forwarded landline number, thus getting below the SIMs own tariff.
