02 Access Charges – Following on from our previous blogs regarding Ofcom’s new legislation introducing changes to the way calls to 0800, 0808, 084,087, 09, 116 and 118 numbers are billed. The changes are reported to have been designed to make it easier for everyone to understand how much calls to these numbers cost.

As of July 1st 2015 last year the following charges were applied to calls from the O2 network to 08, 09 and 118 numbers.

We thought with all the changes surrounding telecoms at the moment  you might appreciate an update withy  these costs and so we have put together this quick blog to highlight them for you if you are using O2 through us or anyone else.
