Calls to FREEphones should be FREE, even from mobiles
The title is self-explanatory. We should NOT pay for ANY calls to ANY freephone. Free means FREE!
Some countries already FORBID their telecom operators from profiting from such calls. The UK should follow suit!
The following is taken from the OfCom website - up to 31p p/min is outrageous! Some international calls are cheaper!

[regarding 0800 numbers]
How much do calls cost? Calls are normally free of charge from landlines but charges may apply from mobile phones. However, the operator must make an announcement before the call is connected telling the caller that they will be charged (the announcement does not state the exact charge). Calls from mobiles typically cost up to 31p per minute.
0500 numbers cost similar amounts as 0800 and 0808 numbers from a mobile.

MAKE ALL FREEPHONE CALLS FREE, AS THEY SHOULD BE
