Where to go after Orange charge for 0800?

Now that Orange has started charging for 0800s, I think there may be
little reason to stay with them.

-----

In future I guess most of my calls will be 5 to 10 minutes of daytime
calls to landlines.

Trouble is that I've been using 0800s on Orange ED50 for so long that
I stopped keeping up with what else is available!

QUESTION: Are there any alternative networks or alternative tariffs
which look particularly tasty and which I should consider?

------

Is my old OVP-VM the way to go?

I'm porting one of my Orange numbers to Tesco PAYG. 20p/min to landlines
or any network, 10p/min to favourite 3 numbers. Texts 10p, but I have
another Orange PAYG SIM with the original Out Here pack on with the 5 free
messages a day, so I'll hang on to that for SMS. On the Tesco tariff, you
can buy bundles of 25 or 50 minutes for £2.50 and £5 which last 30 days
and give you the 10p calls to anyone.

If you're anticipating 5 to 10 mins to landlines, then Vodafone PAYG might
be worth a look, with the Stop the Clock option. I don't make calls of
that length so it's not any good to me.

Unless you're on a Business Solutions, Business Plus, Corporate or Liberate
account, you won't get free 0800 anywhere unless you use a landline.

Dont o2 include calls to 0800/0808 in their any network, anytime
minutes on both contract ,and payg.

O2 are about the only network that let you use inclusive minutes to
call freefone numbers. Orange do OVP the plans as well, but you won't
avaoid a hike in your line rental. maybe get a decent handset upgrade
tho
