Numbers that begin with 0808 80 are free to call from 3, EE, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Virgin Mobile through a scheme run by The Helplines Association.

Its been mentioned on here many times, that if you have to make a chargeable call to any freephone number from any UK mobile a charge can be avoided if you have inclusive minute by using Pre-Dial Access Numbers 0200 222 0700 or 0900.Enter the freephone number in full after the prompt. If one doesnt work on your network the other usually does.
Their are now numerous suppliers who provide this type of service another is http://www.0800buster.co.uk/ who now use a 03 access number.

Or if you can access skype you can use the work around mentioned in my post here http://www.saynoto0870.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.cgi?num=1377747106 no skype credit needed.

So they havent got round to offering a 01/02/03 number for mobile callers like some have. Shocked

bigjohn,

Not exactly. The Breakdown service in question is provided as an "add-on" to one of their bank accounts. The number is provided by the Bank and is an 0800 number.

Should their circumstances with this "add-on" change then I would look to find a Breakdown company that provided a regular 01/02/03 number for Mobile use.
