From: CJB on 18 Jun 2010 05:14 What 0800 no. are free on various mobile networks? I have just seen a notice that certain 0800 nos. are free on O2, Virgin, T-Mobile, Orange, and Vodaphone, BUT NOT on Three. Presumably though you need some top-up credit for a connection though? On Giggaff apparently all 0800 nos. are free, as they are on BT landlines. CJB.

So they were allowed unless individually blocked. Though that may have changed since then..... P |
