The reason for looking for an alternative isn't because the 0844 number is expensive (it costs the same as a national call), it's because our new VoIP phone system gives us free national calls at the moment - unfortunately that doesn't apply for 08 numbers, hence the reason for this post is that I'm looking to save money.
As you get inclusive calls to 01, 02 and 03 numbers, calls to premium 084, 087 and 09 numbers will always be more expensive.
Even if you paid 'geographic rate' for calls to 01, 02 and 03 numbers, calls to numbers with an additional Service Charge will always cost more.
