Its been announced that an agreement has been reached by the six big mobile companies to stop charging for calls to DWP 0800 numbers. About time too!
"Vodafone, T-Mobile, 02, Orange, Virgin Media and Tesco will make calls to around 70 DWP 0800 numbers free of charge to their customers. These lines are used to make initial claims for State Pension, Employment and Support Allowance and Jobseekers’ Allowance and to apply for crisis loans.
Free calls will commence from 18 January for Vodafone, O2, Tesco Mobile and Orange customers, and from 25 January for those using T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile.
Calls to these 0800 numbers are already free from BT landlines and BT mobile phones. "
Sorry cannot provide link, its from an intranet site.
