Ofcom are proposing that calls to 0800 numbers from mobile phone should be free like the good old days!

Thats bound to piss the mobile companies off

In the meantime you can use 0800 Buster to get round paying for calls to 0800 numbers!

In this 'anything goes''in the aid of free market, the regulator suddenly realises he is not regulating.

It has all been a bit of a farce for years and costs companies money because no one wants to call them with the phone in hand.

Mobile provider GiffGaff has always had FREE 0800 number calling on PAYG.

Ofcom really seems to be taking their time with this. Didn't they already announce this last month?

They are really dragging their heels, I agree. I've lost count of the number of times this has been "announced".
