Calls to non geographic (0800) numbers

[Anonymous]

Vodafone have just introduced a very useful bolt on. £2.50 per month will give you calls to 0800, 0845 and 0870 numbers which will be taken from your inclusive minutes, and not charged separately.
Does O2 have any plans to introduce such a bundle, otherwise I would be tempted to switch to Vodafone.

That's something you'll have to ask (or suggest to) O2.

They're certainly useful sites, but unfortunately there are now 08 numbers which have no geographical equivalent and so the bolt-on would be a good idea for some people.

I would imagine the bolt on would be useful for everyone. All utility companies and now even doctor's surgeries have 0845 numbers. And let's face it when you ring these numbers they keep you hanging on for a very long time.
I don't see the point in mobile operator's offering more and more inclusive minutes yet make so many exclusions. Let's not forget o2 only removed these numbers from inclusive minutes in 2007. If Vodafone are now including them so should o2.

I couldn't agree more and although I use the 'say no' and '0800 buster' through necessity, I would willingly pay the Vodafone price for such a bolt on. All the commodity companies and banks etc have national numbers and on hold time can border on the ridiculous.
