    Hi Simax,
    I know that EE do a free 30 min 08 booster. Do any of their plans include 08 numbers like T-Mobile ?

    And yes, Federer, *ALL* 08xx numbers are included.
    I would be extremely surprised if this is true. It would not be cost effective for a network to include 0843, 0844, 0871 and 0872 numbers for example.

    I can assure you, all 08 numbers are included, including 0845/0870/0800/0843/0844/0871/0872/0873 etc
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Just out of interest, who told you they do a free 08 booster?

    I've taken out three contracts with T-Mobile in the last three months (one in the last two weeks). ALL have 08 numbers (ALL 08 numbers) included. It is standard on all their contracts since early last year.

    I wouldn't set much store by what they tell you on the phone; they are in a competition with vodafone to be crowned the worst mobile network rather than get basic facts right or care about their customers.
