Instructions

1. Dial 01205 71 0800 wait for prompt
2. Enter the 0800, 0808, or 0500 number you want to phone
3. Press # to start the call

Call 0800, 0808 & 0500 Numbers Free* From Your Mobile

Most mobile phone providers in the UK still charge their users for calls to 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers.

0800Buster lets you call these numbers using your mobile’s inclusive minutes by providing you with a UK landline number to dial instead.
No registration or set-up is necessary and the service is completely free.

Just dial 01224 39 0800 enter the full free-phone number you want to call at the prompt then press #—it’s that simple!



Can I still use your service if I don’t get free minutes to UK landlines?
Our access numbers should be charged at the normal landline rate which might still be cheaper than calling 0800, 0808 or 0500 number direct.

Check your mobile tariff to see if we could still save you money.

What’s the catch?How does 0800Buster.co.uk earn any money?
We can offer this to you as a free service because we receive a small amount of money for handling toll free calls.

How can I store your numbers in my phone’s address book?
Most mobiles come with the ability to add “pauses” to contacts which cause the phone to wait for 2–3 seconds before dialling the rest of the number.

These are usually represented by a “p” or “+” so the number you store should resemble 01224390800p0800123456#.

To enter a pause:Nokia

- press three times (or until p appears)Samsung, Motorola

- press and hold until p appearsSony Ericsson

- press and hold until p appearsLG

- press and hold until p appearsSiemens

- press and hold until + appearsApple iPhone

- press and hold until , appears

Can I use your service to call 0845, 0870, or other UK numbers?
Unfortunately it would cost us money to handle these calls so we cannot offer it as part of our free service.
You can, however use our parent company Localphone.com to make cheap calls to the UK which should work out considerably cheaper than using your mobile directly.

What are some useful numbers I can call with 0800Buster?
You can get free directory enquiries from your mobile by dialling the 0800Buster access number followed by 0800 118 3733.

i have just tried this and it didnt work for me, but i dont get free mins on my payg i think it works only if u have free minutes on your tariff to landline numbers first, have read some topics on the site and they seem to work if u have free mins to landlines and i only get mine to other 3 phones, so it might need checking by some one who has free minutes.

I've been researching it and I've found the following:

First and most important, this service is free SO LONG AS YOU HAVE INCLUSIVE MINUTES TO LANDLINE NUMBERS.

Second; the number posted above is wrong, they have recently replaced it to:
01205 71 0800 have changed it to the right number in post.
