It would be nice but I don't think that will happen.

Their are available apps that help convert most of those types of numbers to magic numbers ,that then come out of your inclusive minutes.

Adding to what bandofbrothers has suggested, if you have an Android phone, there is an app called 0800 Wizard which allows you to call the numbers you mentioned that doesn't use your inclusive minutes, but you need to use your data connection.
