NOTE__ Keep this web site handy. It will save you money on those expesive premium rate phone No.
Many people don't realise that there are many phone providers offering cheaper calls to standard telephone numbers (those beginning with 01 or 02), which don't apply to 0845, 0870 or 0871 telephone numbers. - Please see the links page and click on Cheapest Call Provider for price details. This shows that by using multiple providers, you can reduce your call cost on standard telephone numbers to as little as 1p fixed cost (regardless of duration), whereas the cheapest provider to 0870 numbers that I am aware of charges 7p/min to call.
Worst still some companies that use these numbers are actually receiving a cut of the phone call costs.
If you have an 'inclusive landline calls' phone package, then it is very rare that 0870, 0871 or 0845 numbers are are included in your 'free minutes' allocation, unlike normal numbers.
Many companies advertise a separate number that can be used when calling from abroad - This usually begins in the format +44 - There is nothing to stop you using this number from the UK (as it is a normal rate telephone call), and will be included in any inclusive minutes provided by your landline or mobile phone provider. Many others will give you a standard number if you ask.
This site is all about listing these numbers, saving you money, without having to pay additional charges.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the site. Please continue to add any new numbers as and when you find them.

Also you should know and be careful when searching for the best price. Don't buy into 'free minutes' in 0800 numbers - No company can afford to give away free minutes. Some companies offer to sell bundles of minutes to you for a fixed price in much the same way as you would buy a text bundle for a mobile phone. The odds are you won't use exactly the amount of minutes you paid for. If there is a shortfall the 0800 numbers company makes a profit. If you go over your minutes you pay for it anyway. Bottom line: Free minutes aren’t free – it has to be made up elsewhere in set up fees and monthly rentals. Does your business give products way for free?
