Alternatively, join GiffGaff, who provide free calls to all 0800, 0808 and 0500 freefone numbers.

If you have an Android or iPhone then download the Skype app.

All 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers appear to be free from the Skype app, you do not need any Skype calling credit.

Of course it will use a little data, but if you're somewhere with wifi then it won't cost you a penny.

No need to swap sims, use other pre dial websites etc.

I think Tmobile and Orange block SKYPE

Does anyone else do freephone numbers other than GiffGaff

Surprise that article does not say use www.saynoto0870.com to find an alternative geographical number.

Does the 0800 Wizard allow you to dial 0800 numbers from your phone's saved contacts? If it forces you to dial the numbers manually, then I don't see what use it is: you may as well just use 0800busters instead.

Free to download free to use. no hassles. new technology, out with the old. Say no is a little dated and tired now.

I've just looked at the Android market and there appears to be a better app which is applicable to all 08 numbers, not just 0800. It's called 08 Wizard.

I'm going to try that one.

Only difference is 0800 Wizard is free and 08 Wizard is a 99p download, hence mentioning 0800 Wizard over 08 Wizard in the guide.
