They are NOT free at all!
My gripe is people, (including the telcos), calling them free when they are not!
If they where free you would not need to pay a line rental, so stop the use of free and use the correct word "inclusive"
So we share the same gripe then Derrick as I feel exactly the same way as you......................
.
Then stop calling them "free" as they are not!
Try not paying your line rental then see if they will supply you with the
free, inclusive calls. they won't because you are not paying them anything!
Even 0800, 0808, 0500,100, 999, 112, are not free from your landline for the same reasons I mentioned above, if you don't pay your line rental you will not receive the calls!
FREE = NO charge!
The only,(?), true free calls, (to the caller), are 0800, 0808, 0500, 100, 999,112, called from a, (BT?), payphone, as to receive them inclusive from a landline means you are paying a line rental, therefore a charge!
There is no reason for the long post, or for you, (and others), to keep calling them "free", similarly to not calling 0845 "local rate", WE don't do that because it is misleading, so is calling the inclusive calls "free"!
Even BOGOFF's in supermarkets are not one "free", as you have to buy one to receive another one, therefore a charge! FREE = NO charge!
