davieG Posted 12 December 2013 Posted 12 December 2013 Calls to businesses or services using freephone numbers will be free from mobile phones as well as landlines, telecoms regulator Ofcom has said. Under the plan, calls to 0800, 0808 and 116 numbers will always be free. The move is one of a number of changes announced by the regulatoraffecting calls to businesses or services. Ed Richards, Ofcom's chief executive, said the changes would be "the biggest for UK telephone customers in more than a decade". The changes will be made in June 2015, and Ofcom said it would develop a campaign for consumers to explain in more detail how the changes will work. Callers to 08, 09 or 118 numbers will be told how much their call will cost, broken down into an "access charge" and an additional "service charge". This will be highlighted on customers' bills and callers may also be told by a recorded message. More here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25345157

Rincewind Posted 12 December 2013 Posted 12 December 2013 If it was not for the cost I may not have a landline. I assume it is the same for many others.
