3 is the cheapest, but is it best

Vadek is referring to the special numbers page
http://www.google.com/search?q=three%20special%20numbers
Then take the first result link.
This page makes it clear that standard UK mobile numbers are NOT special numbers, so will no be charged at a special - that is, over 3p - rate.
If any user of the new 321 tariff would post an example from their 3 billing, of being charged over 3p/min to a non 3 UK mobile, then we might have something to worry about.
I've been on Three's 321 PAYG for almost 2 weeks now. Apart from buying an unlocked 3G handset (£50 net for Nokia 301 after selling on the included O2 sim & £10 credit thereof) my call costs have shrunk drastically. I was on Orange's Racoon PAYG tariff which is roughly 15p per minute or SMS.
I've been checking my 321 balance occasionally after calls to other networks and it's definitely 3p per minute to call Orange mobiles. I therefore assume calls to all mobile networks are 3p per minute. Obviously not including special 07 numbers etc.Never trust a financial institution.

Just such a pity you cannot use this 321 tariff with 3g tablets. Oh well leaves the field open for Ovivo Mobile I suppose.0

i work for customer services in the mobile phone network sector, and i can honestly say after working here i wouldn't be chosing 3!!!!
BTW that website you are promoting, did they use Google Translate for their English version?
