Make companies use 03 instead of 08 numbers in the UK

Additional Information

Roughly 65% of people in the UK use their mobiles phones more than their landlines in the UK, yet companies still haven't got with the time and still expect us to pay £0.36 per minute to call them when we need to sort out a problem or pay a bill, on average each month I spend between £5 and £15 on 08 numbers that can't be found to have an alternative number even with 'SayNoTo0870.com'. There are roughly 75,750,000 mobile users in the UK so even if that was £1.00 each per month that's a total of over £75 million per month and a whopping £900,000,000 per year wasted and most of it by listening to automated services and hold music..
