Obvious question about free minutes

Stupid question, with standard free minutes (peak/crossnetwork etc) which numbers can you call for free? Mobile numbers I know, same with home lines, but can you say call an 0800 or 0870 number, are premium rate numbers the only exclusions?

    unless it's an o2 phone any number that isn't either a mobile number or normal landline number (ie 01...., 02.....) will be charged extra (ie 0845, 0870, 0800, 0844)

    with o2 o845, 0844, 0870 numbers are included in the free minutes

    If you have a contract on Orange or Virgin with Cross Network Minutes you can use them to dial 07744 97 4116, 4404. 4333 etc etc to access 0800/0808/0845/0870 numbers.
