Relax. There will be no nasty surprises when you receive your next phone bill.
Calls to 03 numbers must count towards any inclusive minutes offered by your fixed or mobile network operator in exactly the same way as 01 and 02 calls. These rules apply to calls from any type of line including mobile, BT, other fixed line or payphone. Furthermore, under Ofcom rules, calls to 03 numbers made outside minutes bundled with network contracts must cost no more than those to landline numbers (01 or 02).
The table below illustrates the comparative cost of a one hour conference call made to a range of conference call services from the UK's principal mobile networks.

The figures assume 60 minutes of inclusive bundled minutes are available at the time of dialling into the conference. Calls made to 03TALK where inclusive minutes are not available must be charged at the same rate as calls to 01/02 and will vary according to callers' mobile contracts.
