The vast majority of calls to 01, 02 and 03 numbers made from landlines and mobiles are made as part of an inclusive allowance. This is now the 'normal' way to make these calls.

Provision of an entirely free-to-caller number comes at considerable per-minute cost to the called party. As such, usage should be restricted to those services where it is vital that all callers incur no charges.

This point has been fulfilled with the national Powercuts and Blackouts Emergency Helpline which came into service in May 2016 on 105. This number is free-to-caller on landlines and mobiles.

SSE energy provider has changed their number so that, as yet, there is no 0800 corresponding number.  The number is 03450713957 - can anyone help id a freephone for this please?

Done.

As this website's name suggests we look to find alternatives to 087 and indeed 084 numbers.  As 03 numbers are charged the same as an 01/02 number and are included in any calling minutes there is no alternative needed.

I hope this helps.
