Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an 03 number? Will I be able to call it for free?
- † 03 numbers were introduced in 2007 as an alternative to 01/02 numbers but not tied to any specific area of the country. We’ve checked all the big phone providers and they include calls to these numbers in your free minutes, but please check with yours to be sure. If you’re still concerned you can use 0117 395 0800 as an alternative number.
- 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 may mean that you are charged for a landline call. Check with your mobile provider to find out how much you will be charged.
- 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 03335558800p0800123456#. To enter a pause:
