That's off-topic. This thread is about 0800 and 0808 numbers.

On topic: 0800 numbers start with 08 last time I looked.

On my EE bill, at the bottom, it says:

"From 1st July 2015, The Access Charge for calls to numbers beginning 08, 09 or 118 will be charged at 44p per minute"

Now that doesn't look like 'free' to me.

It should have said 084, 087, 09 and 118

Is there a list anywhere of access charges from the various providers?

There are many lists, most of which are very incomplete.

These two seem to cover more providers than the others:
