    Probably correct, as they have different tariffs for non-BT lines - find a link on their home or rates pages.

    Also, depending on your network you may be charged separately for the 0800 number, of from inclusive minutes, but not free.

    If your mobile supplier charges to call Freephone Numbers thats why your getting announcement.If you have got inclusive 01/02 minutes use the 020 access numbers instead.

    On what network are you using it? If its Orange they might be treating it as an Intl Calling Service and charging 10p.
