Free 0800 calls from mobiles good news for consumers

04 April 2012

Commenting on today’s announcement of plans by Ofcom to introduce free 0800 calls from mobiles and simplify call charges to 03, 08, 09 and 118 numbers, Communications Consumer Panel Chair Bob Warner said:

“The proposals are good news for consumers. Charges for 0800 calls from mobiles particularly affect people on lower incomes, who are more likely to rely on a mobile at home and use it to make calls to essential services.

“Ofcom’s new proposals respond to our concerns that calling non-geographic numbers can be confusing and costly for consumers.”
