CallNet

I tried to sign up to CallNet months ago and was promised an adapter to allow the free calls to be made. I waited weeks and heard nothing from them. I queried the delay and was told that I should have already received the adapter and that it would be with me very soon. After several weeks I finally phoned up to cancel the order, reasoning that a company so disorganised would be worth avoiding (not that I really had a choice). A few weeks later I noticed a payment of £19.99 to “WCN Gibralter” on my credit card statement which later turned out to be a charge from Callnet. I phoned them again and ... more

I tried to sign up for this service when they first started at the end of 1999, unfortunately I was too late and missed my chance when they closed subscriptions. I was actually glad when I heard the service was very poor. I then heard a few months later that the service had improved and they were accepting registrations again, but this time you had to pay £20 for a dialler box. This seemed like a reasonable deal so I signed up, expecting to receive the box, complete with activation code within 28 days. Several months passed, as did several unanswered emails and I decided something had gone ... more

Callnet0800 is a revolutionary ISP which first brought the 0800 internet access to consumers in UK. They have done a great job and has a reasonable business model which intend to fund their operation through e-commerce and telecom revenue. They have been there for more than a year and I believe they will continue to be there in the future. They offer good value on internet access where a £20 Smart-dialing box is all you have to pay in order to enjoy this completely free internet service. However, this ISP has very short (1 hour) cut off time which can be pretty annoying during online ... more

A half a year ago I could not wait to get callnet! free net calls and 30% of phone bills! Now I like the bit about the free phone calls - though I have not got a bill! The box takes years to come! I can not get on the net for hours with it enganged tone going on and on my advive is to let it have a few attemps and leave in ringing whilst you do something else! this service is so slow and help you if you want to download, though it is free and it is freeso I should not complain but it is annoying and I wish the could be bigger! ... more

Callnet 0800 is by far the best internet provider you can get if you are on the net more than 2 hours a day. It is totaly free accept for an intial charge at the beginning to get a dialer that you plug into the the phone socket. This costs £20. Delivery takes about 1 month but the wait is worth it. You can go online any time of the day absolutely free for a miaximum time of 1 hour until you get disconnected and you then have to dial up again. This is a very small price to pay for free internet. However, one problem I have found is that the connection can be quite slow. This may not be the ... more
