I am a BT customer, but I use the prefix 18185 during the day cos I do not have free calls.my contract is finishing with BT.I am considering moving, how can I be sure that my new provider will not barr me from using 18185?

You can ask them. For example, BE have said they don't block these numbers.
However, there is nothing to stop any provider other than BT from blocking such prefixes whenever they want to. If access to these codes is essential to you (for example you use them to make a lot of international calls) you'd better stick with BT.0 -
Virginmedia don't block 18185 either.0
