    I've just spoken to Talkmobile re these 0330 numbers. Their help says "Our plans contain allowances for standard UK text messages, picture messages, data and calls to standard UK mobiles (numbers starting with 07) and standard UK landlines (numbers starting 01, 02 and 03)".

    HOWEVER she said the 0330 number would not be part of my free calls bundle and would be charged at 40p per minute, she said "03 numbers are free unless it is premium or a service like that number 0330".

    So 60 entries a day would be £24 a day! Think I'll give it a miss!

    So I'd advise people to check with their individual phone providers to avoid any surprises.
    I'm with Talkmobile, and I can confirm that I have definitely NOT been charged for these calls. I've just received my most recent bill and they are all listed as £0.00. Hope this helps someone.

    My O2 phone is PAYG ie no monthly subscription therefore no bundle of free minutes or texts. However, it did allow me to enter when my EE phone (with a bundle of free minutes) did not, but at 30-50p per call (cheaper than a stamp...) I was not going to enter 60 times per day.

    03 calls are charged the same as 01 and 02 calls so that sounds right.

    It will depend on whether you're pay as you go or contract, and what specific tariff you're on.
    It's a good idea to try 1 call first, wait an hour or so then check whether or not you've been charged for it.
