Call UK toll free numbers for free with your mobile [Tips]

Don't we all hate being charged for calls made to "toll free" numbers? If you have not realized it by now, the toll free numbers are free only from land line phones. Most mobile carriers would charge you to make calls to these toll free numbers.

For our UK readers, help may be at hand. 0800Buster may just be the service you are looking for. 0800Buster allows you to make calls to 0800, 0808, and 0500 numbers using your mobile's inclusive minutes. 0800Buster provides you with a land line number that you can call from your mobile (without paying extra charges) and then it connects you with the toll free number that you need to call. There is no registration or any kind of setup, you can start using the service right away. This is what you need to do:

• Dial 01226 81 0800 from your mobile.
• Enter the toll free (0800, 0808, or 0500) number that you want to reach at the prompt.
• Press # to connect the call.
• Yes, that is it!!!
  

If you do not want to hear the prompt and save some more minutes, you can directly store the number in your address book in the format 01226810800p0800123456#. Most mobile phones allow you to enter a "p" or a pause in a number. Try one of these methods to enter pause in your phone numbers:

• Nokia - Keep pressing * until p appears.
  
• Samsung & Motorola - press and hold * until p appears
• Sony Ericsson - press and hold 7 until p appears.
  
• LG - press and hold # until p appears
• If the method listed against your phone does not work, try methods listed against other phones
  

0800Buster makes money by handling toll free calls, so this may not vanish in thin air. Till your mobile phone companies do not offer free calling to toll free numbers, this is a good solution (especially since its FREE).
