    I've done my research and Orange don't charge for 0800 for standard talk plans only. You can check that here

    I was suprised to see that 0870 numbers are included in your free minutes.

    I could of swore that I got charged for 0800 numbers when I was with Orange :confused: , I must of been mistaken.

    CARE that page is for older contracts (talkplans) - it says

    These Talk plans are no longer available for new connections.

    --
    For some time now , new contracts are set up as "YourPlans"

    I once had an o2 contract and 0800 were included in the free minutes.

    Also, when you dial an 0800 number, the company you are phoning pick up the bill, and I really dont think they would want to pick up the cost of a mobile call.
  • Do orange charge for 0808 numbers?
  • sorry, just saw extract from pdf doc that answers my question
