From 1st July, all 0800 or 0808 numbers will be free for all callers including mobile phone users. Numbers starting 0800 or 0808 have been free when dialled from a landline, but mobile users are often charged for them, typically between 14p and 40p per minute. This means it will now be free to call CRT’s emergency number 0800 47 999 47. The cost of calling numbers starting 084, 087, 09 and 118 is also changing.
