About time too. It's good to see various organisations (Ofcom, EU) coming down on the mobile networks crazy pricing finally.

On the 11th March, 2012 Ofcom is to ban mobile network face ban on charging customers for 0800 calls. In the current situation mobile customers pay 40p per minute which are totally free to call from a landline.

Has it escaped your attention that 11th March 2012 is long gone ?        :-\

What happened about this announcement, if it is genuine ?        :-\

It is a genuine proposal  but the date is duff, at the present time its part of the subject of a consultation by Ofcom.
