O2 provide a list of free 08xx numbers here. If your provider doesn't have a list on their website, you should be able to contact customer services and find out from them.

These are geographical (London) numbers, so calls will come from inclusive minutes where applicable and be charged at the same rate as 01/02 calls.

Which network were you calling from? It could possibly be an oversight as in their network informs users dialling 0800 and 0808 but they 'forgot' to do it for the very, very little used 0500 freephone numbers!

I have used both these numbers today to call 0500 freephone numbers from mobiles.
( Your find if one does not work on your network the other does ).

Just to confirm - you did dial 020 0222 0700 - not 020 222 0700 (which is wrong).

In each case, you dial the 020 number first (020 0222 0700 for example) and wait for the prompt. After that, you dial the 0500 or 080x number you wish to call (0500 123456 for example). After a short pause, the call will start dialling. Instead of paying a fortune, you are now only paying normal geographic rates (or free if geographic calls are included in your calling plan).
