  • 070 numbers look like UK mobiles but are 'personal numbers' that can cost the caller £0.50/minute or more — they're not real mobile lines.
  • 0800/0808 are freephone from UK landlines and (since 2015) from UK mobiles too. 03 numbers cost the same as 01/02 calls — used by NHS, banks, government.
