Default call 0800 on your mobile and use your minutes

i thought this would come in handy as you can call the numbers and it only uses your minutes you have already paid for

0800Buster.co.uk: Call 0800, 0808 & 0500 Numbers Free From Your Mobile

i wish it would include 0845 numbers

I think he's talking about 0800 numbers being free on a landline anyway.
So no cost at all

Or just drop the leading zero from 0800 numbers and get the call free from your mobile anyway...

It doesn't seem to do that on my phone, it askes me to take off the leading zero and says that there will be a charge, iirc

haha!
Luckily my home phone kinda looks a little bit like a mobile if no ones looking closely, so I think I got away with it.

I can just imagine you standing there with a BT homehub type phone, dying a little inside from embarrassment
I go super-red when I do things like that and give off a kind heat lamp style glow

Hot and sweaty eh?

Yeah, I am also one of the few things on the surface of the earth that can be clearly seen and identified by satelites in space, when I'm embarrassed
