Do you still have your BT line as well as this 2nd line on your broadband?
If so, then you will need that, to make use of 18185, and other telcos, and also BT are the cheapest for 0870, and 0845 numbers. The cheapest is of course, to look on this site for an alternative, and not do business with those companies, however it's not always possible.
I have heard bad reviews of freetalk, but there's probably a few satisfied customers out there.
As for mobiles, it might be easier to buy a contract on "3" which many places are giving almost 12 months free line rental. You get 500 free minutes for anytime any network, plus 100 texts as well. If you phone at least a few mobiles a week, this is better than making the calls on the landline even through 18185. It also means you have the added benefit of making those free calls, whilst on the move, instead of a PAYG mobile which needs topping up.
Just be careful to cancel the contract after 12 months, if you don't think you're saving £30 per month, which is what you pay after 12 months are up. After this time, you can of course get a new mobile, and there might be similair deals around.
