    If not included, CallHappy should be stating the call cost next to the number. It has been an Ofcom requirement since 1 July 2015.

    It's likely to be something like "13p per minute plus your phone provider's Access Charge"

    BT's Access Charge is 12p per minute. Other landlines are between 5p and 13p per minute.

    The Access Charge on mobile phones can be up to 55p per minute. These are premium rate numbers.

    Sky are Blocking Access to all these access numbers as they say here,and as soon as any new no extra charge 03/084/087 type numbers come up on the Sky Radar they normally block them.

    See http://www.callhappy.co.uk/freecalls

    BT clearly state calls to dial-up internet, calling card and dial-through access numbers.are not included

    You might get away with it for a while but you could end up with serious bill shock.

    They breach the Ofcom Guidelines as Ian suggested they might.

    Note the site does not supply address contact number etc
