Super high phone bill vodafone

Options
Today I got a wake up call from the nice machine from vodafone telling me I now owe £180 :eek:. When I phoned them up it turns out most of the bill came from a 0800 number owned by HMRC. I was given the wrong tax code and when i phoned them up they put me on hold for pretty much ever, and since i only have a mobile and never knew it wasn't free im pretty much going into debt :mad: Is there anything I can do to get out of this or will I just have to grin and bear it.I feel like I have been robbed :(

    Unfortunately 0800 numbers have never been free on most mobile networks. The exception being giffgaff and recently Three.

    Yes you will have to grin and bear it ... sorry... but a call to Vodafone MAY result in a reduction or an opportunity to pay in installments but they would be under no obligation to do so. :(
  • My own stupid fault I guess. Thanks for the reply :beer:

    In future check if a number is included in your plan.
