BT's 0800 Number Charges

There is still a misunderstanding of BT's stance on calling 0800 numbers from a BT Mobile Phone.

To clarify, BT has scrapped all charges for its customers who call 0800 phone numbers in May 2009 after pressure from consumer groups

BT have called on other mobile phone operators to suit.

This would benefit mobile phone users to the tune of £50 million a year.

For many years BT's mobile phone customers were irritated by having to pay exorbitantly high rates when dialling (ironically) free 0800 numbers.

0800 number resellers such as Gold 0800 Numbers were delighted with BT's decision. A spokesperson for the company said "We applaud BT's decision to end these punitive call charges and hope other operators will take BT's lead."
