  • ..And now for Windows Phone 7 users 'Free Call Buster'. There is a free fully functionional no limits (but ad-supported) version as well as a 99p verion with no ads. Just go to the marketplace and search for Free Phone Buster
  • If you have an android, just download "0800 Free minutes". Automatically intercepts and redirects the 0800 numbers through a regular landline so you don't pay the extra.
  • If you're on Vodafone they charge an extra £5 per month for calls to 080x/0500/0870/0845 to come out from your inclusive mins, HOWEVER quite often they discount this to £2 or £3 a month and in some cases even add it free of charge! Sayyesto0870.com !

    I've been using TTNC for some time to call 0800 numbers from my mobile and they are fine. Call 01600 700800 then you get a dial tone to ring the 0800 number. If you've got free calls to landlines like I have it's great, otherwise it comes from your normal minutes.

    There's an outfit called QXtelecom (http://www.qxcall.co.uk/) who enable you to call 0870 and 0845 using a 0203 access number from your mobile for between 1.5 and 4pm/minute charged to your account. It's a prepaid account but as it starts at only a fiver and it doesn't expire it seems good value. Haven't tried them though.

    Hope this helps

    From what I have read on their website, t-mobile now include calls to 0800, 0845, 0870 and similar numbers within their contract minutes (with the exclusion of the Full Monty package).

    I was very tempted to switch but t-mobile provide the worst reception of all the main providers in my area.
