    Sure it is but it would be illegal for them to of course.

    Its illegal to do many things, but that doesn't stop people from doing them.

    Just used this to phone Vodafone and works great. So much better to be able to use my mobile to call "free" numbers without paying 15p per minute!

    Have not seen this, BUT does not mean it has not been posted.
    0800 etc numbers for free from your mobile.

    Check out the web site.
    http://www.0800buster.co.uk/

    Found else where so I cannot take full responsibility. I quote.

    "
    Instructions
    1. Dial 01207 45 0800
    2. Enter the 0800, 0808, or 0500 number you want to phone
    3. Press # to start the call

    Call 0800, 0808 & 0500 Numbers Free* From Your Mobile
    Most mobile phone providers in the UK still charge their users for calls to 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers. 0800Buster lets you call these numbers using your mobile’s inclusive minutes, by providing you with a UK landline number to dial instead.
    No registration or set-up is necessary, and the service is completely free*. Just dial 01207 45 0800, enter the full free-phone number you want to call at the prompt, then press #—it’s that simple!

    Hope this helps all
