It said the cost of so-called service numbers, starting with , , or 09, had also been simplified. But there are warnings of confusion over the exact cost of these calls and that the burden on firms may rise. The changes, first announced more than a year ago, will affect million phone numbers. This has prompted many businesses and organisations to move from 08 numbers to cheaper 03 numbers. Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than calls to geographic 01 and 02 numbers.
David Hickson, of the Fair Telecoms Campaign, described the changes as "terrific news". The cost of calls to remaining service numbers has been split into an "access" charge going to the telecoms provider and a "service" charge set by the organisation or business being called. But Richard Neudegg, of price comparison website Uswitch, claimed that these access charges ranged from 15p to 44p across the various mobile networks.
He said this could be a "big worry", but Ofcom has suggested that, in a competitive market, prices could start to fall. The total cost of a call to a service number consists of the access charge, plus the service charge up to 13p per minute.
