Erm not really when all other networks apart from 3 charge up to the same price.

Also, I never call 08 numbers from mobiles, I always find an alternative such as:

Saynoto0870.com
Email them instead
Use a landline or payphone
Just not call it and forget about, F-them! They are using an 08 number, what do they care about me as a customer!

T-Mobile:

ALL 08 numbers inlcuding 0500,0800,0808 and 0844 numbers cost 40p per minute. And that has now been rolled out onto most Pay Monthly plans not just Pay As You Go.

Orange:

Charge 35p per minute for calls to the now popular 0871,0872 and 0873 numbers. This will rise soon, they last revised this in 2004! Its now 2010,perfect excuse for them to up the cost. All other 08 numbers cost 25p per minute.

Vodafone:

30p per minute,some plans may vary.

O2:

25p per minute, to call 0500,0800 and 0808 numbers, you need to remove the first 0.

3:

All 08 and 05 numbers including BT 056 numbers currently cost: 15p per minute

Most increases will reflect the plans to cut termination rates,lower roaming rates and 3G improvements. Mobile networks will also introduce a fee for accessing voicemail if it was previously free or else increasing the current fee.
