077 phone number charging?
Got a missed call from 07781553321 to me that looks like a normal mobile number. I know 0777 numbers are chargeable so was surprised to be charged for calling this back.

Haven't used the service for a long time so decided to cancel subscription. Expected to receive a final invoice (last time I looked I think I'd used ~ £2 of calls) but the account reads zero! Anyone else still using it noticed a zero balance ? Last invoice I paid was nearly 2 years ago.

Calling toll-free numbers in US
A search found that Viber does not charge to call 1-800 numbers in the States, but that call quality is usually poor if it is not a Viber to Viber call. Would whatsApp have a similar facility, or if not, are there any other apps to do this?
