"customers who take out an EE Extra plan from £15.99, receive unlimited UK calls and texts, double speed 4G and free calls to 080 numbers.

They're just trying to score a few points ahead of the Ofcom requirement for 080 calls to be free to the user being introduced next year.

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015

No they are responding to Three stealing a bigger share of the sim only market by already offering inclusive freephone calls ,and then they only respond on dearer tariffs. Three include them on all tariiffs.

I suspect they would have left it to last minute if Three had not broke ranks on the contract side.

Hopefully other suppliers will join Three,EE,and Giffgaff  soon in offering the facility long before they are required to. Smiley

I have noticed they are now restricting the amount of inclusive minutes.  Free 080 calls: are now only up to 1000 minutes per month to one particular number. Standard call charges apply after 1000 minutes to any one 080 number.

Presumably trying to restrict people making cheap calls via Freephone Access Numbers.
