“Say no to 0870" is, in reality, a site that says no to: 0870 - 0871 - 0845 and 0844.   They are all a rip-off.  We are also against 070 (so called personal number), which is shoved in front of the “mobile” range.

As for 0800, (and 0808) this should be a free number on all networks, as they are not free to most mobile users, organisations that use 0800 should  publish an alternative 01/ 02 number.

All other mobile networks have either charged outside inclusive minutes for freephone numbers or taken them from inclusive minutes. Either way, they're certainly not free from mobiles.

Over the last few years there have been quite a few changes at Orange. Services that set it apart from the competition have been abolished such as Everyphone which allowed calls to be diverted to other Orange numbers and UK landlines for free. Also Orange Value Promise (OVP) which matched other network's tariffs. Existing customers can stay on these OVP tariffs, but no new connections are allowed.

I forgot to mention above, Orange has apparently removed all it's normal geographical office numbers and replaced them with, you guessed it, 0870 numbers!
