We’ve all seen the adverts that say “call us free on this number now” or “freephone 0800 blah blah blah”.
That’s all well and good but from most mobile networks freephone numbers are not free…yet. In fact they can cost up to 21p per minute.
Ofcom recently announced intentions to change this and ensure that mobile operators don’t charge for freephone numbers but until then we at Coolsmartphone recommend the 0800 Wizard App.
Simple in its intention and simple to use, 0800 wizard ensures that any calls to 0800, 0500 or 0808 numbers are taken from the minutes on your callplan rather than being charged at the higher call rate.
Using some special re-routing technology, all you have to do is open the app, dial the 0800 number that you wish to call and the wizard waves its wand (routes the call across a dedicated 01 or 02 number) and abracadabra!
252 5* reviews on Google play and a star rating of 4.6/5 tell you all you need to know about the apps effectiveness, however you can rest assured, it really does work! Until the Ofcom recommendations are implemented this really is a must have app.
0800 Wizard is available free from Google Play.
