Title: At last
Post by: Rik on April 04, 2012, 17:49

The BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17610232) report that:

Free calls to 0800 telephone numbers will be extended to anyone using a mobile phone, under plans announced by the regulator, Ofcom.

The vast majority of these calls are charged at up to 21p a minute for mobile users, under current rules.

But Ofcom wants to make these 0800 calls free, as they are from landlines.

At last. The mobile telcos won't like it though.

I rarely use 0800s, but it will be handy to be able to.  :)
