In the past, I have commented on the excessive cost of calling 0870, 0845 and 0800 telephone numbers from a mobile phone. The most absurd aspect of this is that the mobile networks charge users to call Freephone numbers (0800, 0808, 0500).Now along comes 0800Buster. This allows you to call a standard landline number (given at the top left of this page) and then enter your Freephone number. You make your call and it only costs you the landline rate (which is usually included in your bundle of minutes). This is great step forward and all I want now is a method of calling 0845 and 0870 numbers from my mobile phone in the same way.
There are ways to call international numbers, but they are a bit fiddly and require a secondary bill (i.e. you pay from your bundle of minutes and from another account aswell). Try 18185.co.uk for a start.

Thanks for reviewing our service, Edwin. You may be interested to hear that we’ve just launched another service to help UK callers save money, ConferenceBuster.
You can get a completely free conference call going, with landline access numbers that will come out of your landline/mobile plan’s free minutes.
Let me know what you think.
