    If you have inclusive geographical minutes you can use the pre-dial gateway access numbers 0200 222 0700/0900 to call Freephone 0500/0800/0808 numbers from your mobile.

    But you are not calling for "free" it is then just the same as any 01/02 number,a paid for call.

    Not everyone has inclusive minutes, PAYG for instance and as you rightly say,they are inclusive,i.e. you have paid for them, not "free" as a lot of people imply, bottom line "freephone" numbers are not free from a mobile,otherwise they would not come from inclusive minutes.

    I always use "sayno" too and always try to promote it... unfortunately, some agencies have taken wind of the ordinary numbers options and cancelled them.
    I have been all day calling the geographical alternative for a government agency and it gives me a funny "engaged" tone... it is not the first time.
    I love your footnote Derrick!!!

    A friend has given up on saynoto0870. He says when he uses it they rarely have a working alternative number.

    I've found it to be pretty good though.
