Paying nothing for PAYG?

Does anyone know of an ISP which offers access using an 01- or 02- number, not an 0845 ripoff?

Quite a few ISPs allow you to register as a PAYG dialup user for free, and then you can connect to their system (for e-mail only, which is all I need) for nothing if you set up an account in Outlook. But..

The 0845 numbers (which they generally use) cost a lot as you know. I use a phone company with a free-call tariff (onetel) for 01- numbers, so I should be able to dial in for free if I know the right number...

I'm looking for an 01-something to cut my phone bills even further.

Any clues?
