At last
« on: April 04, 2012, 17:49 »
The BBC report that:

Quote
Free calls to 0800 telephone numbers will be extended to anyone using a mobile phone, under plans announced by the regulator, Ofcom.

The vast majority of these calls are charged at up to 21p a minute for mobile users, under current rules.

But Ofcom wants to make these 0800 calls free, as they are from landlines.

At last. The mobile telcos won't like it though.
Slainthe!

I rarely use 0800s, but it will be handy to be able to.  :)

It was built in 1987 so you are not far out.  :laugh:

The showgirls were always sat there so there was no room for me.   :P
