    Hi.
    If you have no house phone and only a mobile... most of the time you get charged to ring 0800 freephone numbers from your mobile.

    However, if you use skype available from skype.com 0800 numbers are free to call

    the boring bit..........

    My dog ate both my house phone power leads.. luckily they run at 12v so no big electric shock and death!

    I needed to ring my bank and some other 0800 numbers. No credit on my mobile..... dog ate my house phones... cant be bothered to go to the phonebox..... YE-HA for skype... 0800 numbers are free and i dont need to get outa bed.


    Hope this helps at least 1 person..... soz to bore ya all !!!

    XxX

    Is it still free to call 0800 numbers via skype?

    Oh, and does anyone know the cost of calling UK 0800 numbers from other Countries in Europe (Spain). Is it the same as a standard UK call?

    Using Skype you can call any countries free phone numbers from any country. I often phone BT's Indian office from Thailand using Skype, cost - nothing. Goodness knows how far the call actually travels.
