A toll-free or freephone number is a special number where the caller is not charged the cost of the call. In the UK, toll free numbers are prefixed by several numeric combination’s, the most familiar being 0800, 0800 and 0808. The cost of the call is charged by the telephone service operator to the called party who bears all charges. The cost of such calls depends on various factors like the amount of call traffic to the number, the rate of trunk lines to that facility and probably a monthly flat rate as service charge.
